Isaiah 47:7
“You said, I shall be mistress forever; so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end of it.”
Verse in context — Isaiah 47
Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
You said, I shall be mistress forever; so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end of it.
Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
