Isaiah 47:8

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 

[47:8]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “voluptuous one” (NAB); NAB “you sensual one”; NLT “You are a pleasure-crazy kingdom.”

[47:8]  ² tn Heb “the one who says in her heart.”

[47:8]  ³ tn Heb “I [am], and besides me there is no other.” See Zeph 2:15.

[47:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “I will not live [as] a widow, and I will not know loss of children.”
