13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
    let now the astrologers, the stargazers,
the monthly prognosticators stand up
    and save you from these things that shall come upon you.
14 Surely they shall be as stubble,
    the fire shall burn them;
they shall not deliver themselves
    from the power of the flame;
it shall not be coal to be warmed by
    nor a fire to sit before.
15 Thus those shall be to you
    with whom you have labored,
    even your merchants, from your youth;
they shall wander, everyone to his quarter.
    No one shall save you.

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.
