You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.

These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.

But disaster will come upon you; you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will be unable to ward off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.

So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!

Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.

15 so to be to/for you which be weary/toil to trade your from youth your man: anyone to/for side: beyond his to go astray nothing to save you

This is what they are to you— those with whom you have labored and traded from youth— each one strays in his own direction; not one of them can save you.
