13 You are tired of the advice you have received.
    So let those who study the sky—
those who tell the future by looking at the stars and the new moons—
    let them save you from what is about to happen to you.
14 But they are like straw;
    fire will quickly burn them up.
They cannot save themselves
    from the power of the fire.
They are not like coals that give warmth
    nor like a fire that you may sit beside.
15 You have worked with these people,
    and they have been with you since you were young,
    but they will not be able to help you.
Everyone will go his own way,
    and there will be no one left to save you.”
