13 (A)You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
Let now (B)the[a] astrologers, the stargazers,
And [b]the monthly prognosticators
Stand up and save you
From what shall come upon you.
14 Behold, they shall be (C)as stubble,
The fire shall (D)burn them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,
Nor a fire to sit before!
15 Thus shall they be to you
With whom you have labored,
(E)Your merchants from your youth;
They shall wander each one to his [c]quarter.
No one shall save you.
