Isaiah 47:5

Judgment

3 Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”

4 Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name— is the Holy One of Israel.

“Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.

6 I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.

7 You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
