New Testament

Isaiah 47:8-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. “Listen to this, you lover of pleasure,you that think you are safe and secure.You claim you are as great as God —that there is no one else like you.You thought that you would never be a widowor suffer the loss of your children.

9. But in a moment, in a single day,both of these things will happen.In spite of all the magic you use,you will lose your husband and children.

10. “You felt sure of yourself in your evil;you thought that no one could see you.Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray,and you said to yourself, ‘I am God —there is no one else like me.’

11. Disaster will come upon you,and none of your magic can stop it.Ruin will come on you suddenly —ruin you never dreamt of!
