Isaiah 47:11

Babylon's Fall

¹⁰

‘No one sees me.’

And you have said in your heart (mind),
‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’

You will not know how to make it disappear [with your magic].
And disaster will fall on you
For which you cannot atone [with all your offerings to your gods];
And destruction about which you do not know
Will come on you suddenly. ¹²

Perhaps you will be able to profit [from them],
Perhaps you may prevail and cause trembling.
