Context Reading
3Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.” 4Our Redeemer — the LORD of Hosts is His name — is the Holy One of Israel. 5“Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms. 6I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke. 7You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
