Isaiah 47:8-10

Young's Literal Translation

⁸And now, hear this, O luxurious one, Who is sitting confidently -- Who is saying in her heart, `I [am], and none else, I sit not a widow, nor know bereavement.'

⁹And come in to thee do these two things, In a moment, in one day, childlessness and widowhood, According to their perfection they have come upon thee, In the multitude of thy sorceries, In the exceeding might of thy charms.

¹⁰And thou art confident in thy wickedness, Thou hast said, `There is none seeing me,' Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, It is turning thee back, And thou sayest in thy heart, `I [am], and none else.'

Isaiah 47:8-10

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.’
⁹Both 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)
¹⁰You 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.’

Isaiah 47:8-10

New King James Version

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
^(A)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.

¹⁰“For you have trusted in your wickedness;
You have said, ‘No one ^(B)sees me’;
Your wisdom and your knowledge have ^[a]warped you;
And you have said in your heart,
‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
