Isaiah 47:7-8

7 You said, “I shall be ^amistress forever,”
so that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.
8 Now therefore hear this, ^byou lover of pleasures,
^cwho sit securely,
who say in your heart,
^d“I am, and there is no one besides me;
^eI shall not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:

How Lonely Sits the City

1 ^fHow lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like ^ga widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was ^ha princess among the provinces
has become ⁱa slave.
