Isaiah 47:14-15

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ They are just like straw.
    Fire will burn them up.
They can’t even save themselves
    from the powerful flames.
These are not like coals that can warm anyone.
    This is not like a fire to sit by.
¹⁵ They can’t do you any good.
    You have done business with them ever since you were a child.
    You have always asked them for advice.
All of them are bewildered and continue in their own ways.
    None of them can save you.”
