Isaiah 47:7-9

New King James Version

⁷And you said, ‘I shall be ^(A)a lady forever,’
So that you did not ^(B)take these things to heart,
^(C)Nor remember the latter end of them.

⁸“Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,
Who dwell securely,
Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor shall I know the loss of children’;
⁹But these two things shall come to you
^(D)In a moment, in one day:
The loss of children, and widowhood.
They shall come upon you in their fullness
Because of the multitude of your sorceries,
For the great abundance of your enchantments.

King James Version

⁷And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

⁸Therefore 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:

⁹But 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.

⁷You said, “I shall be ^(A)mistress forever,”
so that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.

⁸Now therefore hear this, ^(B)you lover of pleasures,
    ^(C)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
    ^(D)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
^(E)I shall not sit as a widow
    or know the loss of children”:
⁹^(F)These two things shall come to you
    in a moment, ^(G)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
    shall come upon you in full measure,
^(H)in spite of your many sorceries
    and the great power of your enchantments.
