Isaiah 47:9-11
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 47:9-11
New International Reader's Version
9 But both of these things will happen to you in a moment.
They will take place on a single day.
You will lose your children.
And you will become a widow.
That is what will happen to you.
All your evil magic
and powerful spells will not save you.
10 You have felt secure in your evil ways.
You have said, ‘No one sees what I’m doing.’
Your wisdom and knowledge lead you astray.
You say to yourself,
‘I am like a god. No one is greater than I am.’
11 So horrible trouble will come on you.
You will not know how to use your evil magic to make it go away.
Great trouble will fall on you.
No amount of money can keep it away.
Something terrible will happen to you all at once.
You will not see it coming ahead of time.

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.
