Isaiah 47:7-9
The Voice
7     But You were carried away with your power,
        thinking you would always be in charge.
    You didn’t consider your limits or think about how all this would end.
8     You, pursuer of pleasure, resting in the thought,
        “No one exists in the world of any consequence except me.
    I’ll never feel as a widow or suffer the loss of my children.”
9     Despite all your magic and charms, all of a sudden, in a single day,
        terror and death to the highest degree.
    In the midst of it all, your children and husband, too, will be gone.
Isaiah 47:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 Yet you said, ‘I will be a (A)queen forever.’
These things you did not (B)put on your heart
Nor remember the (C)outcome of [a]them.
8 “So now, hear this, you (D)sensual one,
Who (E)sits securely,
Who says in [b]your heart,
‘(F)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will (G)not sit as a widow,
Nor know loss of children.’
9 But these (H)two things will come on you (I)suddenly in one day:
Loss of children and widowhood.
They will come on you in full measure
In spite of your many (J)sorceries,
In spite of the great might of your spells.
