Upon the aged hast thou very heavily
Laid thy yoke.

| Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures,
That sittest securely,
That sayest in thy heart:

I shall not sit as a widow,
Neither shall I know the loss of children';
|
TJBU
| 47:8

In one day,

In their full measure shall they come upon thee,
For the multitude of thy sorceries,
And the great abundance of thine enchantments.
|
TJBU
| 47:9

Isaiah 47:10
|
JPS
| 47:10

Thou hast said: 'None seeth me';
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge,
It hath perverted thee;
And thou hast said in thy heart.
'I am, and there is none else beside me.'
|
TJBU
| 47:10
| For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth thee. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge have corrupted thee; thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

And ruin shall come upon thee suddenly,
Before thou knowest.

|
JPS

And with the multitude of thy sorceries,
Wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth;
If so be thou shalt be able to profit,
If so be thou mayest prevail.
|

| Persist now in thine enchantments; and in the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou wast occupied from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to prevail.

Isaiah 47:13
|
JPS
| 47:13
| Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels;
Let now the astrologers, the stargazers,
The monthly prognosticators,
Stand up, and save thee
From the things that shall come upon thee.
|
TJBU
| 47:13
| Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let them now rise up, and save thee, who are familiar with the Zodiac of the heavens, who look at the stars, who make known appointed seasons: deceiving thee, saying, Thus it shall happen unto thee each month.

They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to warm at,
Nor a fire to sit before.
|
TJBU
| 47:14
| Behold, they shall be weak as stubble. The nations which are as strong as fire shall con sume them, they shall not deliver themselves from the hand of the slayers: there shall be no remnant nor escaped of them, yea, not a place, in which one might deliver himself.
|
|
Isaiah 47:15
|
JPS
| 47:15

With whom thou hast laboured;
They that have trafficked with thee from thy youth
Shall wander every one to his quarter;
There shall be none to save thee.
|
TJBU
| 47:15
| Thus shall the workers of thy lies be in thee, with whom thou wast occupied from thy youth; the princes of thy power, shall go into captivity; each one straight before his face, none shall save thee.
