Isaiah 47:14

Babylon's Fall

¹³ You are powerless in spite of the advice you get. Let your astrologers come forward and save you! Let those people who study the stars, who map out the zones of the heavens tell you from month to month what is going to happen to you. ¹⁴ “Behold, they have become like stubble,
Fire burns them;
They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame;
There will be no coal to warm by
Nor a fire to sit before!
¹⁵ That is all they can do for you, these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error. No one can save you.
