American Standard Version (1901)

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 thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

Young’s Literal Translation

And thou art confident in thy wickedness, Thou hast said, 'There is none seeing me,' Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, It is turning thee back, And thou sayest in thy heart, 'I [am], and none else.'

World English Bible

For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

Darby Translation

For thou hast confided in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath seduced thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, It is I, and there is none but me.

Douay-Rheims

And thou best trusted in thy wickedness, and hast said: There is none that seeth me. Thy wisdom, and thy knowledge, this hath deceived thee. And thou best said in thy heart: I am, and besides me there is no other.

Jewish Publication Society (1917)

Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

for thy trusting in wickedness: for thou saidst, I am, and there is not another: know thou, the understanding of these things and thy harlotry shall be thy shame; for thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is not another.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

τῇ ἐλπίδι τῆς πονηρίας σου· σὺ γὰρ εἶπας, ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα· γνῶθι, ἡ σύνεσις τούτων ἔσται, καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου σοὶ αἰσχύνη· καὶ εἶπας τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα.
