Isaiah 47:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Isaiah 47:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
12 Stand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have laboured from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed,
perhaps you may inspire terror.
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!

New International Version
Isaiah 47:12-14
New International Version
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(A)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(B)
Let your astrologers(C) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(D) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(E)
the fire(F) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(G)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
