13 You are wearied with your many consultations;
    let those who study[a] the heavens
stand up and save you,
    those who gaze at the stars
and at each new moon predict
    what[b] shall befall you.

14 See, they are like stubble,
    the fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
    from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
    no fire to sit before!
15 Such to you are those with whom you have laboured,
    who have trafficked with you from your youth;
they all wander about in their own paths;
    there is no one to save you.
