Isaiah 47:9-13 (New International Version)

 9 Both of these will overtake you
       in a moment, on a single day:
       loss of children and widowhood.
       They will come upon you in full measure,
       in spite of your many sorceries
       and all your potent spells.

 10 You have trusted in your wickedness
       and have said, 'No one sees me.'
       Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you
       when you say to yourself,
       'I am, and there is none besides me.'

 11 Disaster will come upon you,
       and you will not know how to conjure it away.
       A calamity will fall upon you
       that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
       a catastrophe you cannot foresee
       will suddenly come upon you.

 12 "Keep on, then, with your magic spells
       and with your many sorceries,
       which you have labored at since childhood.
       Perhaps you will succeed,
       perhaps you will cause terror.

 13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!
       Let your astrologers come forward,
       those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
       let them save you from what is coming upon you.

New International Version (NIV)
