Isaiah 47:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 47:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 These two things will happen to you:
First, you will lose your children and then your husband.
And none of your magic spells will help you.
10 You do bad things but still feel safe.[a]
You say to yourself, ‘No one sees the wrong I do.’
You thought that your wisdom and knowledge would save you.
You tell yourself, ‘I alone am important,
and no one else matters.’
11 “But disaster is coming your way.
You don’t know when it will happen, but disaster is coming.
And there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Isaiah 47:9-11
New International Version
9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment,(A) on a single day:
loss of children(B) and widowhood.(C)
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries(D)
and all your potent spells.(E)
10 You have trusted(F) in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(G)
Your wisdom(H) and knowledge mislead(I) you
when you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(J) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(K) come upon you.
