Isaiah 47:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy [a]wisdom and thy knowledge, they have caused thee to rebel, and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee, and thou shalt not know the morning thereof; destruction shall fall upon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come upon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
12 Stand now among thine enchanters, and in the multitude of thy soothsayers (with whom thou hast [b]wearied thyself from thy youth) if so be thou mayest have profit, or if so be thou mayest have strength.
