Isaiah 47:8

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