Isaiah 47:7-15

7And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for everH5769: soH1961 that thou didst notH3808 layH7760 theseH428 things to thy heartH3820, neitherH3808 didst rememberH2142 the latterH319 endH319 thereof. 8NowH6258 therefore hearH8085 this, thou that art givenH8085 to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heartH3824, I am, and there is noneH3808 elseH5750 beside meH589; I shall notH3808 sitH3427 as a widowH490, neitherH3808 shall I knowH3045 the lossH7908 of childrenH7908: 9but theseH428 twoH8147 things shall comeH935 to thee in a momentH7281 in one dayH3117, the lossH7908 of childrenH7908, and widowhoodH489: in their fullH3117 measureH3966 shall they comeH935 uponH5921 thee, despiteH5921 of the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, and the greatH3966 abundanceH7230 of thine enchantments. 10For thou hast trustedH982 in thy wickednessH7451; thou hast saidH559, NoneH369 seeth meH7725; thy wisdomH2451 and thy knowledgeH1847, it hath perverted thee: and thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3820, I am, and there is noneH369 elseH5750 beside meH7725. 11Therefore shall evilH7451 comeH935 uponH5921 thee; thou shalt notH3808 knowH3045 the dawningH7837 thereof: and mischief shall fallH5307 uponH5921 thee; thou shalt notH3808 be ableH3201 to putH935 it awayH5307: and desolation shall comeH935 uponH5921 thee suddenlyH6597, which thou knowest notH3808. 12StandH5975 nowH4994 with thine enchantments, and with the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, whereinH834 thou hast laboured from thy youthH5271; ifH834 soH834 be thou shalt be ableH3201 to profitH3276, ifH834 soH834 be thou mayest prevailH3201. 13Thou art weariedH3811 in the multitudeH7230 of thy counselsH6098: letH4994 nowH4994 the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthlyH2320 prognosticators, standH5975 upH5975, and saveH3467 thee from the things that shall comeH935 uponH5921 thee. 14BeholdH2009, they shall be as stubbleH7179; the fireH784 shall burnH8313 them; they shall notH3808 deliverH5337 themselvesH5315 from the powerH3027 of the flameH3852: it shall notH3808 be a coalH1513 to warmH2552 at, norH3808 a fireH784 to sitH3427 beforeH5048. 15ThusH3651 shall the things be unto thee whereinH834 thou hast laboured: they that have traffickedH5503 with thee from thy youthH5271 shall wanderH8582 everyH376 one to his quarter; there shall be noneH369 to saveH3467 thee.
