Isaiah 47:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
8 “So now hear this, lover of luxury,
who sits securely,(A)
who says to herself,
‘I am, and there is no one else.
I will never be a widow
or know the loss of children.’(B)
9 These two things will happen to you
suddenly, in one day:
loss of children and widowhood.
They will happen to you in their entirety,
in spite of your many sorceries(C)
and the potency of your spells.
10 You were secure in your wickedness;
you said, ‘No one sees me.’(D)
Your wisdom and knowledge
led you astray.
You said to yourself,
‘I am, and there is no one else.’
Isaiah 47:8-10
King James Version
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

Isaiah 47:8-10
English Standard Version
8 Now therefore hear this, (A)you lover of pleasures,
(B)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
(C)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
(D)I shall not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:
9 (E)These two things shall come to you
in a moment, (F)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
(G)in spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.
10 You felt secure in your wickedness;
you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
(H)“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
Isaiah 47:8-10
International Children’s Bible
8 “Now, listen, you lover of pleasure.
You think you are safe.
You tell yourself,
‘I am the only important person.
I will never be a widow.
I will never lose my children.’
9 Two things will happen to you
suddenly in a single day.
You will lose your children and your husband.
These things will truly happen to you.
All your magic and powerful tricks
will not save you.
10 You do evil things, but you feel safe.
You say, ‘No one sees what I do.’
Your wisdom and knowledge
have fooled you.
You say to yourself,
‘I am God. No one is equal to me.’
