8  Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures,

who sit securely,

who ^hsay in your heart,

“I am, and there is no one besides me;

I shall not sit as a ⁱwidow

or know the loss of children”:

10  You felt secure in your wickedness;

you said, ^j“No one sees me”;

your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,

and you said in your heart,

“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
