25 “And (A)there will be signs in sun and moon (B)and stars, and on the earth (C)distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world.

Isaiah 47:12-14
English Standard Version
12 (A)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.
13 You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
(B)those who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.
14 Behold, (C)they are like stubble;
(D)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!
Deuteronomy 12:30-31
English Standard Version
30 take care (A)that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?—that I also may do the same.’ 31 (B)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every (C)abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for (D)they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
