10 And you felt secure in your wickedness;
    you said, “No one[a] sees[b] me.”
Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
    and you said in your heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one.”

    it will be on the lookout for her.
And disaster shall fall upon you; you will not be able to avert[c] it.
    And ruin shall come on you suddenly; you do not know.

    and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth.
Perhaps you may be able to benefit;
    perhaps you may scare away.[d]
