Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Hear now this, thou (that art) given to pleasures - (note, Isaiah 47:1.) In no city were there so many incentives to licentiousness.
That sayest in thine heart, I (am), and none else besides me - (Isaiah 47:10.) Language of blasphemous arrogance in man's mouth; fitting for God alone (Isaiah 45:6). See Isaiah 5:8, latter part.
I shall not sit (as) a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children. A state, represented as a female, when it has fallen, is called a widow, because its king is no more; and childless, because it has no inhabitants, they having been carried off as captives (Isaiah 23:4; Isaiah 54:1; Isaiah 54:4-5; Revelation 18:7-8).
