Isaiah 47:8
Compare all
6 aI was angry with My people;
bI have profaned My inheritance,
And given them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy;
cOn the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily. 
7 And you said, ‘I shall be aa lady forever,’
So that you did not btake these things to heart,
cNor remember the latter end of them. 
8 “Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,
Who dwell securely,
Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor shall I know the loss of children’;
9 But these two things shall come to you
aIn a moment, in one day:
The loss of children, and widowhood.
They shall come upon you in their fullness
Because of the multitude of your sorceries,
For the great abundance of your enchantments. 
10 “For you have trusted in your wickedness;
You have said, ‘No one asees me’;
Your wisdom and your knowledge have1 warped you;
And you have said in your heart,
‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

Isaiah 47:8

given to pleasures—(See on Isaiah 47:1). In no city were there so many incentives to licentiousness.

I am . . . none . . . beside me— (Isaiah 47:10). Language of arrogance in man's mouth; fitting for God alone (Isaiah 45:6). See Isaiah 5:8, latter part.

widow . . . loss of children—A state, represented as a female, when it has fallen is called a widow, because its king is no more; and childless, because it has no inhabitants; they having been carried off as captives (Isaiah 23:4; Isaiah 54:1, Isaiah 54:4-5; Revelation 18:7-8).
