⁸ Therefore, now hear this, you who are given to pleasures,
    who dwell carelessly,
who say in your heart,
    “I am, and there is no one besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
    nor shall I know the loss of children”;
⁹ but these two things shall come to you
    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
    and for the great abundance of your enchantments.
¹⁰ For you have trusted in your wickedness;
    you have said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge have perverted you;
    and you have said in your heart,
    “I am, and there is no one besides me.”
¹¹ Therefore, evil shall come upon you,
    which you shall not know from where it rises.
And disaster shall fall upon you,
    for which you shall not be able to atone.
And desolation shall come upon you suddenly,
    which you shall not know.
