12 (A)Stand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;

let them stand forth and save you,

who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.

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.

Isaiah 44:12-17
English Standard Version
12 (A)The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil.[a] He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. (B)He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. 14 (C)He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it. 15 Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. 16 Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!” 17 And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. (D)He prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”

Isaiah 44:12-17
New International Version
12 The blacksmith(A) takes a tool
and works with it in the coals;
he shapes an idol with hammers,
he forges it with the might of his arm.(B)
He gets hungry and loses his strength;
he drinks no water and grows faint.(C)
13 The carpenter(D) measures with a line
and makes an outline with a marker;
he roughs it out with chisels
and marks it with compasses.
He shapes it in human form,(E)
human form in all its glory,
that it may dwell in a shrine.(F)
14 He cut down cedars,
or perhaps took a cypress or oak.
He let it grow among the trees of the forest,
or planted a pine,(G) and the rain made it grow.
15 It is used as fuel(H) for burning;
some of it he takes and warms himself,
he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
But he also fashions a god and worships(I) it;
he makes an idol and bows(J) down to it.
16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire;
over it he prepares his meal,
he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says,
“Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.(K)”
17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
he bows down to it and worships.(L)
He prays(M) to it and says,
“Save(N) me! You are my god!”

It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.[a]
9 No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;

and come to Zion with singing;
(D)everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
