Isaiah 47:12-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Stand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.(A)
13 You are wearied with your many consultations;
let those who study[a] the heavens
stand up and save you,
those who gaze at the stars
and at each new moon predict
what[b] shall befall you.(B)
14 See, they are like stubble;
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!(C)
15 Such to you are those with whom you have labored,
who have trafficked with you from your youth;
they all wander about in their own paths;
there is no one to save you.(D)
Isaiah 47:12-15
International Standard Version
12 “But[a] stand up now with your spells
and your many incantations,
at which you have labored from your childhood until today,[b]
13 according to[c] your multiple schemes.
Let them stand up now—
those who conjure[d] the heavens
and[e] gaze at the stars,
predicting at the new moons—
and save you from what is about to happen to them.[f]
14 “See, they are just like stubble;
fire burns them up.
They could not[g] even save themselves
from the power of the flame.
There will be no coals for warming oneself,
no fire to sit by.
15 So will they be to you—those with whom you toiled
and did business since your childhood—
they wander about, each in his own direction;
there is not one who can save you.
