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;

who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.

they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
no fire to sit before!
