47:7 You said,
‘I will rule forever as permanent queen!’ 1
You did not think about these things; 2
you did not consider how it would turn out. 3
47:8 So now, listen to this,
O one who lives so lavishly, 4
who lives securely,
who says to herself, 5
‘I am unique! No one can compare to me! 6
I will never have to live as a widow;
I will never lose my children.’ 7
47:9 Both of these will come upon you
suddenly, in one day!
You will lose your children and be widowed. 8
You will be overwhelmed by these tragedies, 9
despite 10 your many incantations
and your numerous amulets. 11
