Isaiah 47:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Isaiah 47:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 You are worn out with your many consultations.
So let them stand and save you—
the astrologers,[a] who observe the stars,(A)
who predict monthly
what will happen to you.
14 Look, they are like stubble;(B)
fire burns them up.(C)
They cannot deliver themselves
from the power[b] of the flame.
This is not a coal for warming themselves,
or a fire to sit beside!
15 This is what they are to you—
those who have wearied you
and have traded with you from your youth—
each wanders on his own way;
no one can save you.

New International Version
Isaiah 47:13-15
New International Version
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(A)
Let your astrologers(B) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(C) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(D)
the fire(E) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(F)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(G) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(H) you.
