Isaiah 47:7-15

7And thou saidst, I shall beH1961 mistressH1404 for everH5769; so that thou didst not lay these thingsH428 to thy heartH3820, neither didst rememberH2142 the latterH319 endH319 thereof.

8NowH6258 thereforeH6258 hearH8085 this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heartH3824, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sitH3427 as a widowH490, neither shall I knowH3045 the loss of children: 9but these twoH8147 thingsH428 shall comeH935 to thee in a momentH7281 in oneH259 dayH3117, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they comeH935 upon thee, in the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, and the great abundanceH7230 of thine enchantments. 10For thou hast trustedH982 in thy wickednessH7451; thou hast saidH559, None seeth me; thy wisdomH2451 and thy knowledgeH1847, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast saidH559 in thy heartH3820, I am, and there is none else besides me. 11Therefore shall evilH7451 comeH935 upon thee; thou shalt not knowH3045 the dawningH7837 thereof: and mischief shall fallH5307 upon thee; thou shalt not be ableH3201 to put it away: and desolation shall comeH935 upon thee suddenlyH6597, which thou knowest not.

12StandH5975 now with thine enchantments, and with the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, wherein thou hast laboredH3021 from thy youthH5271; if so be thou shalt be ableH3201 to profitH3276, if so be thou mayest prevailH3201. 13Thou art weariedH3811 in the multitudeH7230 of thy counselsH6098: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, standH5975 up, and saveH3467 thee from the things that shall comeH935 upon thee. 14Behold, they shall beH1961 as stubbleH7179; the fireH784 shall burnH8313 them; they shall not deliverH5337 themselves from the power of the flameH3852: it shall not beH1961 a coalH1513 to warmH2552 at, nor a fireH784 to sitH3427 before. 15ThusH3651 shall the things beH1961 unto thee wherein thou hast laboredH3021: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youthH5271 shall wanderH8582 every oneH376 to his quarter; there shall beH1961 none to saveH3467 thee.
