Nor know the loss of children.’

In spite of the great power of your spells.

And in your many sorceries

With which you have labored from your youth;

Perhaps you may cause trembling.

Let now the astrologers,

Those who prophesy by the stars,

Those who predict by the new moons,

Stand up and save you from what will come upon you.

“Behold, they have become like stubble,

Fire burns them;

They cannot save themselves from the power of the flame;

There will be no coal to warm by

Nor a fire to sit before!

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 47:15 -

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

Those who have done business with you from your youth;

Each has wandered in his own [fn]way;

There is no one to save you.
