Isaiah 47:10–15

¹⁰And you felt secure in your wickedness;

you said, “No one^h seesⁱ me.”

Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,

and you said in your heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one.”

¹¹And evil shall come upon you, you will not know;

it will be on the lookout for her.

And disaster shall fall upon you; you will not be able to avert^j it.

And ruin shall come on you suddenly; you do not know.

¹²Stand, now, in your enchantments,

and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth.

Perhaps you may be able to benefit;

perhaps you may scare away.^k

¹³You struggle with your many consultations;^l

let them stand, now, and save you—

those who see the stars, divide the celestial sphere,^m

who inform by new moons—

from those things that are coming upon you.

¹⁴Look! They are like stubble;

the fire burns them completely.

They cannot deliver themselvesⁿ from the power^o of the flame;

there is no coal for warming oneself,^p

no fire before which to sit.

¹⁵So are to you those with whom you have labored,

your traders from your youth.

They wander, each to his side;

there is no one who can save you.
