Isaiah 47:10-12

Young's Literal Translation

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.'

¹¹And come in on thee hath evil, Thou knowest not its rising, And fall on thee doth mischief, Thou art not able to pacify it, And come on thee suddenly doth desolation, Thou knowest not.

¹²Stand, I pray thee, in thy charms, And in the multitude of thy sorceries, In which thou hast laboured from thy youth, It may be thou art able to profit, It may be thou dost terrify!

Isaiah 47:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰You have trusted^(A) in your wickedness
    and have said, ‘No one sees me.’^(B)
Your wisdom^(C) and knowledge mislead^(D) you
    when you say to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
¹¹Disaster^(E) 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^(F) come upon you.

¹²“Keep on, then, with your magic spells
    and with your many sorceries,^(G)
    which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
    perhaps you will cause terror.

Isaiah 47:10-12

New King James Version

¹⁰“For you have trusted in your wickedness;
You have said, ‘No one ^(A)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.’
¹¹Therefore evil shall come upon you;
You shall not know from where it arises.
And trouble shall fall upon you;
You will not be able ^[b]to put it off.
And ^(B)desolation shall come upon you ^(C)suddenly,
Which you shall not know.

¹²“Stand now with your enchantments
And the multitude of your sorceries,
In which you have labored from your youth—
Perhaps you will be able to profit,
Perhaps you will prevail.
