12 Stand fast now with your enchantments,
    and with the multitude of your sorceries
    in which you have labored from your youth.
Perhaps you shall be able to profit,
    perhaps you may cause trembling.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
    let now the astrologers, the stargazers,
the monthly prognosticators stand up
    and save you from these things that shall come upon you.
14 Surely they shall be as stubble,
    the fire shall burn them;
they shall not deliver themselves
    from the power of the flame;
it shall not be coal to be warmed by
    nor a fire to sit before.
15 Thus those shall be to you
    with whom you have labored,
    even your merchants, from your youth;
they shall wander, everyone to his quarter.
    No one shall save you.

12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest [a]prevail. 13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the [b]astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the 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: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before. 15 Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast labored: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to [c]his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.
