Context Reading
5“Sit in silence, and go into darkness,daughter of the Chaldeans.For you shall no longer be calledthe mistress of kingdoms. 6I was angry with my people.I profaned my inheritanceand gave them into your hand.You showed them no mercy.You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged. 7You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart,nor did you remember the results. 8“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures,who sit securely,who say in your heart,‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.I won’t sit as a widow,neither will I know the loss of children.’ 9But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day:the loss of children and widowhood.They will come on you in their full measure,in the multitude of your sorceries,and the great abundance of your enchantments.
