8. “So now hear this, lover of luxury,who sits securely, who says to herself,‘I exist, and there is no one else.I will never be a widowor know the loss of children.’
9. These two things will happen to yousuddenly, in one day:loss of children and widowhood.They will happen to you in their entirety,in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
10. You were secure in your wickedness;you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledgeled you astray.You said to yourself,‘I exist, and there is no one else.’
11. But disaster will happen to you;you will not know how to avert it.And it will fall on you,but you will be unable to ward it off. Devastation will happen to you suddenlyand unexpectedly.
