Isaiah 47:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹But troubles will come to you.
    You will not know how to stop them.
Disaster will fall on you.
    And you will not be able to keep it away.
You will be destroyed quickly.
    You will not even see it coming.

¹²“Keep on using your tricks.
    Continue doing all your magic.
    You have done these things since you were young.
Maybe they will help you.
    Maybe you will be able to scare someone.
¹³You are tired of the advice you have received.
    So let those who study the sky come.
They tell the future by looking at the stars.
    So let them save you from what is about to happen to you.
