But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 47 of Isaiah. Babylon appears as a woman who believed herself to be a permanent queen, but she will be humbled. Her confidence in wisdom, sorcery, commerce, and political power cannot prevent judgment. Her fall demonstrates that a civilization that interprets prosperity as invulnerability eventually faces the reality of its own fragility.

Aber es wird dir solches beides kommen plötzlich auf einen Tag, daß du Witwe und ohne Kinder seist; ja, vollkommen wird es über dich kommen um der Menge willen deiner Zauberer und um deiner Beschwörer willen, deren ein großer Haufe bei dir ist.
Estas dos cosas te vendrán de repente en un mismo día, orfandad y viudez: en toda su perfección vendrán sobre ti, por la multitud de tus adivinanzas, y por la copia de tus muchos agüeros.
Pero estas dos cosas vendrán sobre ti en un instante, en un solo día: pérdida de hijos y viudez. Vendrán sobre ti en toda su plenitud, a pesar de tus muchas hechicerías y de la gran fuerza de tus encantamientos.
Ces deux choses t'arriveront subitement, au même jour, La privation d'enfants et le veuvage; Elles fondront en plein sur toi, Malgré la multitude de tes sortilèges, Malgré le grand nombre de tes enchantements.
Queste due cose ti avverranno in un momento, in un medesimo giorno; orbezza di figliuoli, e vedovità; ti verranno appieno addosso, con tutta la moltitudine delle tue malie, con tutta la gran forza delle tue incantagioni.
Porém ambas estas coisas virão sobre ti num momento, no mesmo dia, perda de filhos e viuvez; em toda a sua plenitude virão sobre ti, por causa da multidão das tuas feitiçarias, e da grande abundância dos teus muitos encantamentos.
哪知,喪子、寡居這兩件事 一日之間忽然臨到你; 你雖多行邪術、廣施魔咒, 這兩件事必全然臨到你身上。
