Isaiah 47:8-11

Lexham English Bible

⁸ Therefore now hear this, luxuriant one who sits^[a] in security,
    who says^[b] in her heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one.
I shall not sit as a widow,
    and I shall not know the loss of children.”
⁹ And these two shall come to you in a moment, in one day:
    the loss of children and widowhood shall come on you completely,^[c]
in spite of your many sorceries,
    in spite of the power of your great enchantments.
¹⁰ And you felt secure in your wickedness;
    you said, “No one^[d] sees^[e] me.”
Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
    and you said in your heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one.”
¹¹ And evil shall come upon you, you will not know;
    it will be on the lookout for her.
And disaster shall fall upon you; you will not be able to avert^[f] it.
    And ruin shall come on you suddenly; you do not know.
