Yesaya 47:10

47:10 You were complacent in your evil deeds; ¹ 

you thought, ²  ‘No one sees me.’

Your self-professed ³  wisdom and knowledge lead you astray,

when you say, ‘I am unique! No one can compare to me!’ ⁴ 

Yesaya 55:5

nations ⁶  that did not previously know you will run to you,

because of the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, ⁷ 

for he bestows honor on you.
