Isaiah 47:13-15
King James Version
Isaiah 47:13-15
King James Version
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

Isaiah 47:13-15
New International Version
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(A)
Let your astrologers(B) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(C) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(D)
the fire(E) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(F)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(G) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(H) you.
Isaiah 47:13-15
English Standard Version
Isaiah 47:13-15
English Standard Version
13 You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
(A)those who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.
14 Behold, (B)they are like stubble;
(C)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!
15 Such to you are those with whom you have labored,
who have done business with you from your youth;
they wander about, each in his own direction;
there is no one to save you.
Isaiah 47:13-15

Isaiah 47:13-15
Christian Standard Bible
13 You are worn out with your many consultations.
So let the astrologers stand and save you—
those who observe the stars,(A)
those who predict monthly
what will happen to you.
14 Look, they are like stubble;(B)
fire burns them.(C)
They cannot rescue themselves
from the power of the flame.
This is not a coal for warming themselves,
or a fire to sit beside!
15 This is what they are to you—
those who have wearied you
and have traded with you from your youth—
each wanders on his own way;
no one can save you.
Isaiah 47:13-15

Isaiah 47:13-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 “You are (A)wearied with your many counsels;
Let now the (B)astrologers,
Those who prophesy by the stars,
Those who predict by the new moons,
Stand up and (C)save you from what will come upon you.
14 “Behold, they have become (D)like stubble,
(E)Fire burns them;
They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame;
There will be (F)no coal to warm by
Nor a fire to sit before!
15 “So have those become to you with whom you have labored,
Who have (G)trafficked with you from your youth;
Each has wandered in his own [a]way;
There is (H)none to save you.
