Isaiah 47:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 “So now, hear this, you (A)sensual one,
Who (B)sits securely,
Who says in [a]your heart,
‘(C)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will (D)not sit as a widow,
Nor know loss of children.’
9 But these (E)two things will come on you (F)suddenly in one day:
Loss of children and widowhood.
They will come on you in full measure
In spite of your many (G)sorceries,
In spite of the great might of your spells.
10 You felt (H)secure in your evil and said,
‘(I)No one sees me,’
Your (J)wisdom and your knowledge [b]have turned you astray;
So you have said in your heart,
‘(K)I am, and there is no one besides me.’
11 But (L)evil will come on you
Which you will not know how to charm away;
And disaster will fall on you
For which you cannot atone;
And (M)destruction about which you do not know
Will come on you (N)suddenly.

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.

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.
