Isaiah 47:10–15

¹⁰“You felt ^asecure in your wickedness and said,

‘^bNo one sees me,’

Your ^cwisdom and your knowledge, ¹they have deluded you;

For you have said in your heart,

‘^dI am, and there is no one besides me.’

¹¹“But ^aevil will come on you

Which you will not know how to charm away;

And disaster will fall on you

For which you cannot atone;

And ^bdestruction about which you do not know

Will come on you ^csuddenly.

¹²“Stand fast now in your ^aspells

And in your many sorceries

With which you have labored from your youth;

Perhaps you will be able to profit,

Perhaps you may cause trembling.

¹³“You are ^awearied with your many counsels;

Let now the ^bastrologers,

Those who prophesy by the stars,

Those who predict by the new moons,

Stand up and ^csave you from what will come upon you.

¹⁴“Behold, they have become ^alike stubble,

^bFire burns them;

They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame;

There will be ^cno coal to warm by

Nor a fire to sit before!

¹⁵“So have those become to you with whom you have labored,

Who have ^atrafficked with you from your youth;

Each has wandered in his own ¹way;

There is ^bnone to save you.
