“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’

ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૪૭:૮
તેથી હવે આ સાંભળ, હે એશઆરામમાં નિશ્ચિંત થઈને બેસી રહેનારી, તું તારા હૃદયમાં કહે છે, “હું અસ્તિત્વમાં છું અને મારા જેવું બીજું કોઈ નથી; હું વિધવા તરીકે ક્યારેય બેસીશ નહિ, કે કદી બાળકો ગુમાવવાનો અનુભવ કરીશ નહિ.”
हिन्दीयशायाह ४७:८
इसलिए सुन, तू जो राग-रंग में उलझी हुई निडर बैठी रहती है और मन में कहती है कि “मैं ही हूँ, और मुझे छोड़ कोई दूसरा नहीं; मैं विधवा के समान न बैठूँगी और न मेरे बाल-बच्चे मिटेंगे।” (सप. 2:15, प्रका. 18:7)

In context

6I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.

7You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.

8“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’

9But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.

10For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
