Isaiah 47:12-14

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)
