12 So take your stand with your spellsand your many sorceries,which you have wearied yourself with from your youth.Perhaps you will be able to succeed;perhaps you will inspire terror!
13 You are worn out with your many consultations.So let them stand and save you —the astrologers, who observe the stars, who predict monthlywhat will happen to you.
14 Look, they are like stubble; fire burns them up. They cannot deliver themselvesfrom the power of the flame.This is not a coal for warming themselves,or a fire to sit beside!
15 This is what they are to you —those who have wearied youand have traded with you from your youth —each wanders on his own way;no one can save you.
