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
47:10 You were complacent in your evil deeds; 4
you thought, 5 ‘No one sees me.’
Your self-professed 6 wisdom and knowledge lead you astray,
when you say, ‘I am unique! No one can compare to me!’ 7
