Isaiah 47:12-14
English Standard Version
12 (A)Stand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.
13 You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
(B)those who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.
14 Behold, (C)they are like stubble;
(D)the fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
no fire to sit before!
Isaiah 47:12-14

Isaiah 47:12-14
New International Version
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(A)
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!(B)
Let your astrologers(C) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(D) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(E)
the fire(F) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(G)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
