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.
Isaiah 47:8-11
New American Standard Bible
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.
