Isaiah 47:11-13
Christian Standard Bible
11 But disaster will happen to you;
you will not know how to avert it.
And it will fall on you,
but you will be unable to ward it off.[a]
Devastation will happen to you suddenly
and unexpectedly.(A)
12 So take your stand with your spells
and your many sorceries,
which you have wearied yourself with from your youth.
Perhaps you will be able to succeed;
perhaps you will inspire terror!
13 You are worn out with your many consultations.
So let the astrologers stand and save you—
those who observe the stars,(B)
those who predict monthly
what will happen to you.

Isaiah 47:11-13
New International Version
11 Disaster(A) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(B) come upon you.
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(C)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(D)
Let your astrologers(E) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(F) you from what is coming upon you.
