Isaiah 47:8-11

New International Version

⁸ “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
    lounging in your security^(A)
and saying to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.^(B)
I will never be a widow^(C)
    or suffer the loss of children.’
⁹ Both of these will overtake you
    in a moment,^(D) on a single day:
    loss of children^(E) and widowhood.^(F)
They will come upon you in full measure,
    in spite of your many sorceries^(G)
    and all your potent spells.^(H)
10 You have trusted^(I) in your wickedness
    and have said, ‘No one sees me.’^(J)
Your wisdom^(K) and knowledge mislead^(L) you
    when you say to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
¹¹ Disaster^(M) will come upon you,
    and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
    that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
    will suddenly^(N) come upon you.
