⁸ “Now, then, hear this, you ^(A)luxuriant one,
Who ^(B)lives securely,
Who says in her heart,
‘^(C)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will ^(D)not sit as a widow,
Nor know the 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 power of your spells.
¹⁰ You felt ^(H)secure in your wickedness and said,
‘^(I)No one sees me,’
Your ^(J)wisdom and your knowledge, ^[a]they have led you astray;
For 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.
