Isaiah 47:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ “Now, listen, you lover of pleasure.
    You think you are safe.
You tell yourself,
    ‘I am the only important person.
I will never be a widow.
    I will never lose my children.’
⁹ Two things will happen to you
    suddenly in a single day.
    You will lose your children and your husband.
These things will truly happen to you.
    All your magic and powerful tricks
    will not save you.
¹⁰ You do evil things, but you feel safe.
    You say, ‘No one sees what I do.’
Your wisdom and knowledge
    have fooled you.
You say to yourself,
    ‘I am God. No one is equal to me.’
