Isaiah 47:12-14

New Catholic Bible

^12 [a]But continue to persist in your spells
    and your many sorceries
in which you have placed your confidence
    throughout your life.
Perhaps you can succeed with them;
    perhaps you can inspire terror.
¹³ You have exhausted yourself with consultations
    ever since your youth.
Let the astrologers now come forth to save you,
    those who seek the future in the stars
and who predict at each new moon
    what will befall you next.
¹⁴ But they are like stubble;
    the fire consumes them.
They cannot even deliver themselves
    from the heat of the flames.
These flames are not meant to sit beside;
    these glowing embers are not meant for keeping warm.
