Isaiah 47:12-15

Lexham English Bible

¹² Stand, now, in your enchantments,
    and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth.
Perhaps you may be able to benefit;
    perhaps you may scare away.^[a]
13 You struggle with your many consultations;^[b]
    let them stand, now, and save you—
those who see the stars, divide the celestial sphere,^[c]
    who inform by new moons—
        from those things that are coming upon you.
¹⁴ Look! They are like stubble;
    the fire burns them completely.
        They cannot deliver themselves^[d] from the power^[e] of the flame;
there is no coal for warming oneself,^[f]
    no fire before which to sit.
¹⁵ So are to you those with whom you have labored,
    your traders from your youth.
They wander, each to his side;
    there is no one who can save you.
