Isaiah 47:7-9
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
7 You said, “I will be the queen for ever.”
You did not take these things to heart
or think about their outcome.
8 ‘So now hear this, lover of luxury,
who sits securely,(A)
who says to herself,
“I am, and there is no one else.
I will never be a widow
or know the loss of children.”(B)
9 These two things will happen to you
suddenly, in one day:
loss of children and widowhood.
They will happen to you in their entirety,
in spite of your many sorceries(C)
and the potency of your spells.
Isaiah 47:7-9
King James Version
Isaiah 47:7-9
King James Version
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

lounging in your security(E)
and saying to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.(F)
I will never be a widow(G)
or suffer the loss of children.’
9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment,(H) on a single day:
loss of children(I) and widowhood.(J)
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries(K)
and all your potent spells.(L)
