• Isaiah 47:7-9
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  7 You said: “I will always be the Mistress,* forever.”+

      You did not take these things to heart;

      You did not consider how the matter would end.

       8 Now hear this, O lover of pleasure,+

      Who sits in security, who says in her heart:

      “I am the one, and there is no one else.+

      I will not become a widow.

      I will never know the loss of children.”+

       9 But these two things will come upon you suddenly, in one day:+

      Loss of children and widowhood.

      In full measure they will come upon you+

      Because of* your many sorceries and all your powerful spells.+
