Isaiah 47:10

For thou hast trusted in thy ra'ah (wickedness); 1 thou hast said: None seeth me. 1 Thy chochmah and thy da'as, 1 it hath perverted thee; 1 and thou hast said in thine lev: 1 I am, and none else beside me. 1

In The King James Version

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
