Isaiah 47:7-9

The Voice

⁷     But You were carried away with your power,
        thinking you would always be in charge.
    You didn’t consider your limits or think about how all this would end.
⁸     You, pursuer of pleasure, resting in the thought,
        “No one exists in the world of any consequence except me.
    I’ll never feel as a widow or suffer the loss of my children.”
⁹     Despite all your magic and charms, all of a sudden, in a single day,
        terror and death to the highest degree.
    In the midst of it all, your children and husband, too, will be gone.
