Isaías 47:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 47:10

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness
In wealth and power wickedly obtained; in political schemes wickedly contrived; in her ambition and pride, tyranny and cruelty; and especially in her wicked arts of astrology, divination, and magic: thou hast said, none seeth me;
lay her schemes of policy, which she thought so deeply laid, as not to be discovered; perform her magic arts, which were secretly done, and other her wicked actions done in the dark; but nothing can be hid from the omniscient God: thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee:
her high opinion of her own wisdom and knowledge in political affairs, or in magic arts, deceived her, and turned her from right to wrong ways, which issued in her ruin. This rightly describes the Jesuits, and other emissaries of the church of Rome, who trust in their wickedness, their craft and cunning, which none can penetrate into; but there is an all seeing eye upon them, which discovers their intrigues, blasts their designs, and brings them into confusion: and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else besides me;
none so wise and knowing as myself. This is what the oracle said of the Chaldeans F14,

``the Chaldeans and the Hebrews are the only wise.''
This is repeated, to observe the haughty and insolent boasts of themselves.

Isaías 47:10 In-Context

8 “Agora, entĂŁo, escute, criatura provocadora,que age despreocupada e preguiçosamenteem sua segurança e diz a si mesma:‘Somente eu, e mais ninguĂ©m.Jamais ficarei viĂșva nem sofrereia perda de filhos’.
9 Estas duas coisas acontecerĂŁo a vocĂȘnum mesmo instante, num Ășnico dia,perda de filhos e viuvez;virĂŁo sobre vocĂȘ com todo o seu peso,a despeito de suas muitas feitiçariase de todas as suas poderosas palavras de encantamento.
10 VocĂȘ confiou em sua impiedade e disse:‘NinguĂ©m me vĂȘ’.Sua sabedoria e seu conhecimento a enganamquando vocĂȘ diz a si mesma:‘Somente eu, e mais ninguĂ©m alĂ©m de mim’.
11 A desgraça a alcançarĂĄe vocĂȘ nĂŁo saberĂĄ como esconjurĂĄ-la.CairĂĄ sobre vocĂȘ um maldo qual vocĂȘ nĂŁo poderĂĄ proteger-se com um resgate;uma catĂĄstrofe que vocĂȘ nĂŁo pode prevercairĂĄ repentinamente sobre vocĂȘ.
12 “Continue, entĂŁo, com suaspalavras mĂĄgicas de encantamentoe com suas muitas feitiçarias,nas quais vocĂȘ tem se afadigado desde a infĂąncia.Talvez vocĂȘ consiga,talvez provoque pavor.
