Isaiah 47:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ “Now, listen, you lover of pleasure.
    You ·think you are safe [who dwell in security].
You tell yourself,
    ‘·I am the only one [^LI am], and there is no other [Zeph. 2:15].
I will never be a widow
    or ·lose [^Lknow the loss of] my children.’
⁹ Two things will happen to you suddenly, in a single day.
    You will lose your children and ·your husband [^Lbecome a widow].
These things will ·truly happen to [or overwhelm; ^Lcome in abundance upon] you,
    in spite of all your ·magic [sorceries],
    in spite of your powerful ·tricks [spells; enchantments].
¹⁰ You ·do evil things, but you feel safe [^Ltrusted/felt secure in your evil/wickedness]
    and say, ‘No one sees ·what I do [^Lme].’
Your wisdom and knowledge
    have ·fooled [mislead] you.
You say to yourself,
    ‘·I am the only one [^LI am], and there is no other [v. 8].’
