Isaiah 47:7-15

7Yet you saidH559, ‘I will be a 1queenH1404 foreverH5703H5769.’ TheseH428 thingsH428 you did not 2considerH7760H5921H3820 NorH3808 rememberH2142 the 3outcomeH319 of 4them.

8“NowH6258, then, hearH8085 thisH2088, you 5luxuriantH5719 oneH5719, Who 6livesH3427 securelyH983, Who saysH559 in her heartH3824, ‘7I am, and thereH657 isH657 noH657 oneH657 besidesH5750 me. I will 8not sitH3427 as a widowH490, NorH3808 knowH3045 the lossH7908 ofH7908 childrenH7908.’9But theseH428 9twoH8147 thingsH8147 will comeH935 on you 10suddenlyH7281 in oneH259 dayH3117: LossH7908 ofH7908 childrenH7908 and widowhoodH489. They will comeH935 on you in fullH8537 measureH8537 In spite of your manyH7230 11sorceriesH3785, In spite of the greatH3966 powerH6109 of your spellsH2267.10You feltH982 12secureH982 in your wickednessH7463 and saidH559, ‘13NoH369 oneH369 seesH7200 me,’ Your 14wisdomH2451 and your knowledgeH1847, 15they have ledH7725 you astrayH7725; For you have saidH559 in your heartH3820, ‘16I am, and thereH657 isH657 noH657 oneH657 besidesH5750 me.’11But 17evilH7463 will comeH935 on you Which you will not knowH3045 how to charmH7837 awayH7837; And disasterH1943 will fallH5307 on you For which you cannotH3201H3808 atoneH3722; And 18destructionH7724 about which you do not knowH3045 Will comeH935 on you 19suddenlyH6597.

12“PersistH5975 nowH4994 in your 20spellsH2267 And in your manyH7230 sorceriesH3785 With whichH834 you have laboredH3021 from your youthH5271; PerhapsH194 you will beH3201 ableH3201 to benefitH3276, PerhapsH194 you may causeH6206 tremblingH6206.13You are 21weariedH3811 with your manyH7230 counselsH6098; Let nowH4994 the 22astrologersH1895H8064, Those who prophesyH2372 by the starsH3556, Those who predictH3045 by the newH2320 moonsH2320, StandH5975 up and 23saveH3467 you from whatH834 will comeH935 upon you.14BeholdH2009, they have becomeH1961 24like stubbleH7179, 25FireH784 burnsH8313 them; They cannotH3808 saveH5337 themselvesH5315 from the powerH3027 of the flameH3852; ThereH369 willH369 beH369 26noH369 coalH1513 to warmH2552 by Nor a fireH217 to sitH3427 beforeH5048!15SoH3651 have those becomeH1961 to you with whomH834 you have laboredH3021, Those who have 27doneH5503 businessH5503 with you from your youthH5271; EachH376 has wanderedH8582 in his own 28wayH5676; ThereH369 isH369 29noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you.
