13 You are weary of your consultations.
So many!
So let the astrologers, star-gazers, predicting by new moons,
    stand up and save you from what will come upon you.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble.
Fire will consume them.
They cannot deliver themselves
    from the power of the flame!
It is not a coal for warming by
    or a fire to sit before!
15 So much have they become to you,
with whom you have toiled,
trafficking with you from your youth,
each wandering about his own way.
No one will 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.
