If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [she says in her heart that she sits as a queen and that she is not a widow and that she will not see mourning at all]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει

in the heart ˱of˲_her ˱she˲_/is/_saying

Here the heart figuratively represents the thoughts and motives. Alternate translation: [she thinks to herself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κάθημαι βασίλισσα

Here the word sit means “to be.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am a queen]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

χήρα οὐκ εἰμί

/a/_widow not ˱I˲_am

Babylon is referring to herself as not being dependent on anyone by association with the way that a widow in this culture likely would be dependent on others.

mourning mourning by_no_means not ˱I˲_/may/_see
