Your wisdom and knowledge have misled you. You said in your heart, "I am the one, and there will be none besides me.' 11 "But disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will not be able to ward off; and devastation will come upon you suddenly, and you won't anticipate it.
