⁹ But these ^(A)two things will come on you ^(B)suddenly in one day:
Loss of children and widowhood.
They will come on you in full measure
In spite of your many ^(C)sorceries,
In spite of the great power of your spells.

¹² “Persist now in your ^(A)spells
And in your many sorceries
With which you have labored from your youth;
Perhaps you will be able to benefit,
Perhaps you may cause trembling.
¹³ You are ^(B)wearied with your many counsels;
Let now the ^(C)astrologers,
Those who prophesy by the stars,
Those who predict by the new moons,
Stand up and ^(D)save you from what will come upon you.
