13 You struggle with your many consultations;[a]
    let them stand, now, and save you—
those who see the stars, divide the celestial sphere,[b]
    who inform by new moons—
        from those things that are coming upon you.
14 Look! They are like stubble;
    the fire burns them completely.
        They cannot deliver themselves[c] from the power[d] of the flame;
there is no coal for warming oneself,[e]
    no fire before which to sit.
15 So are to you those with whom you have labored,
    your traders from your youth.
They wander, each to his side;
    there is no one who can save you.
