Isaiah 47:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Keep on with your spells
and your many sorceries,
at which you toiled from your youth.
Perhaps you can prevail,
perhaps you can strike terror!
13 You wore yourself out with so many consultations!
Let the astrologers stand forth to save you,
The stargazers who forecast at each new moon
what would happen to you.
14 See, they are like stubble,
fire consumes them;
They cannot deliver themselves
from the spreading flames.
This is no warming ember,
no fire to sit before!
Isaiah 47:12-14
New International Version
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(A)
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!(B)
Let your astrologers(C) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(D) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(E)
the fire(F) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(G)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
