'Mistress' in the Bible
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
“Daughter Chaldea,sit in silence and go into darkness.For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms.
You said, ‘I will be the mistress forever.’You did not take these things to heartor think about their outcome.
“Now, then, hear this, you who live a luxuriant life,You who dwell safely and securely,Who say in your heart (mind),‘I am [the queen], and there is no one besides me.I shall not sit as a widow,Nor know the loss of children.’
