Isaiah 47:12-15

Christian Standard Bible

¹² So take your stand with your spells
and your many sorceries,
which you have wearied yourself with from your youth.
Perhaps you will be able to succeed;
perhaps you will inspire terror!
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.
