Isaiah 47:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And thou saidest, I shall be a lady forever, so that thou didst not set thy mind to these things, neither didst thou remember the latter end thereof.
8 Therefore now hear, thou that art given to pleasures, and dwellest careless, She saith in her heart, I am and none else: I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall know the loss of children.
9 But these two things shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the loss of children and widowhood; they shall come upon thee in their [a]perfection, for the multitude of thy divinations, and for the great abundance of thine enchanters.

New International Version
Isaiah 47:7-9
New International Version
7 You said, ‘I am forever(A)—
the eternal queen!’(B)
But you did not consider these things
or reflect(C) on what might happen.(D)
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
lounging in your security(E)
and saying to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.(F)
I will never be a widow(G)
or suffer the loss of children.’
9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment,(H) on a single day:
loss of children(I) and widowhood.(J)
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries(K)
and all your potent spells.(L)
