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.
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.’
You shall not know from where it arises.
And trouble shall fall upon you;
You will not be able1 to put it off.
And adesolation shall come upon you bsuddenly,
Which you shall not know.
And the multitude of your sorceries,
In which you have labored from your youth—
Perhaps you will be able to profit,
Perhaps you will prevail.
Let now bthe astrologers, the stargazers,
And1 the monthly prognosticators
Stand up and save you
From what shall come upon you.
The fire shall bburn them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,
Nor a fire to sit before!
With whom you have labored,
aYour merchants from your youth;
They shall wander each one to his1 quarter.
No one shall save you.
| << Isaiah 47:10 | Isaiah 47:12 >> |
