8  Now therefore hear this, ^qyou lover of pleasures,

^rwho sit securely,

who say in your heart,

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

^tI shall not sit as a widow

or know the loss of children”:

10  You felt secure in your wickedness;

you said, “No one sees me”;

your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,

and you said in your heart,

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