Isaiah 47:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ You have worn yourself out,
    asking for advice
from those who study the stars
and tell the future
    month after month.
Go ask them how to be saved
    from what will happen.
¹⁴ People who trust the stars
are as helpless as straw
    in a flaming fire.
No one can even keep warm,^[a]
sitting by a fire
    that feeds only on straw.
¹⁵ These are the fortunetellers
you have done business with
    all of your life.
But they don't know
where they are going,
    and they can't save you.
