6 I was angry with my people. I have polluted my inheritance, and I have given them into your hand. You have not shown mercy to them. You have greatly increased the burden of your yoke upon the elders.
7 And you have said: 'I will be a noblewoman forever.' You have not set these things upon your heart, and you have not remembered your end.
8 And now, hear these things, you who are delicate and have confidence, who say in your heart: 'I am, and there is no one greater than me. I will not sit as a widow, and I will not know barrenness.'
9 These two things will suddenly overwhelm you in one day: barrenness and widowhood. All things shall overwhelm you, because of the multitude of your sorceries and because of the great cruelty of your enchantments.
10 And you have trusted in your malice, and you have said: 'There is no one who sees me.' Your wisdom and your knowledge, these have deceived you. And you have said in your heart: 'I am, and beside me there is no other.'
