Isaiah 47:8-10
Good News Translation
8 (A)“Listen to this, you lover of pleasure,
you that think you are safe and secure.
You claim you are as great as God—
that there is no one else like you.
You thought that you would never be a widow
or suffer the loss of your children.
9 But in a moment, in a single day,
both of these things will happen.
In spite of all the magic you use,
you will lose your husband and children.
10 “You felt sure of yourself in your evil;
you thought that no one could see you.
Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray,
and you said to yourself, ‘I am God—
there is no one else like me.’
Isaiah 47:8-10
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.’
