Isaiah 47:12-15

Expanded Bible

¹² “Keep on using your ·tricks [magic spells; enchantments]
    and doing all your ·magic [sorceries]
    that you have ·used [practiced; labored at] since you were young.
Maybe ·they will help you [you will succeed/profit];
    maybe you will be able to ·scare someone [provoke terror].
¹³ You are tired of the ·advice [counsel] you have received.
    So let ·those who study the sky [the astrologers; ^Lthose who divide the heavens]—
those who ·tell the future by looking at the stars and the new moons [^Lgaze at the stars to know the months]—
    let them save you from what is about to happen to you.
¹⁴ But they are like straw;
    fire will quickly burn them up.
They cannot save themselves
    from the power of the fire.
They are not like coals that give warmth
    nor like a fire that you may sit beside.
¹⁵ You have ·worked [labored] with these people,
    and they have ·been [or done business] with you since you were young,
    but they will not be able to help you.
Everyone will ·go [or wander off] his own way,
    and there will be no one left to save you.”
