Isaiah 47:7

You said, ‘I will rule forever as permanent queen!’ ¹  You did not think about these things; ²  you did not consider how it would turn out. ³ 

You said, ‘I will continue for ever—the eternal queen!’ But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen.

"Yet you said, ‘I will be a queen forever.’ These things you did not consider Nor remember the outcome of them.

You thought, ‘I will reign forever as queen of the world!’ You did not care at all about my people or think about the consequences of your actions.

You said, 'I'm the First Lady. I'll always be the pampered darling.' You took nothing seriously, took nothing to heart, never gave tomorrow a thought.

And you said, I will be a queen for ever: you did not give attention to these things, and did not keep in mind what would come after.

You said, "I shall be mistress forever," so that you did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.

And you said, ‘I shall be a lady forever,’ So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.

You said, ‘I will rule forever as permanent queen!’ ¹  You did not think about these things; ²  you did not consider how it would turn out. ³
