I was angry with my people.
I dishonored those who belong to me.
I put them under your control.
You showed them no mercy.
You placed a heavy burden on old people.
You said, “I will always be a queen.”
You didn’t carefully consider these things
or keep in mind how they would end.

“I’m the only one, and there’s no one else.
I won’t live as a widow.
I won’t suffer the loss of children.”
