Isaiah 47:8-10
King James Version
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.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

Isaiah 47:8-10
English Standard Version
8 Now therefore hear this, (A)you lover of pleasures,
(B)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
(C)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
(D)I shall not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:
9 (E)These two things shall come to you
in a moment, (F)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
(G)in spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.
10 You felt secure in your wickedness;
you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
(H)“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
