Holman Christian Standard Bible
Isaiah 47:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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(A)
and the potency of your spells.
10 You were secure in your wickedness;
you said, ‘No one sees me.’(B)
Your wisdom and knowledge
led you astray.
You said to yourself,
‘I exist, and there is no one else.’
11 But disaster will happen to you;
you will not know how to avert it.
And it will fall on you,
but you will be unable to ward it off.[a]
Devastation will happen to you suddenly
and unexpectedly.(C)

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.
