47:8 So now, listen to this,
O one who lives so lavishly, 1
who lives securely,
who says to herself, 2
‘I am unique! No one can compare to me! 3
I will never have to live as a widow;
I will never lose my children.’ 4
1 tn Or perhaps, “voluptuous one” (NAB); NAB “you sensual one”; NLT “You are a pleasure-crazy kingdom.”
2 tn Heb “the one who says in her heart.”
3 tn Heb “I [am], and besides me there is no other.” See Zeph 2:15.
4 tn Heb “I will not live [as] a widow, and I will not know loss of children.”
