Isaiah 47:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹So horrible trouble will come on you.
    You will not know how to use your evil magic to make it go away.
Great trouble will fall on you.
    No amount of money can keep it away.
Something terrible will happen to you all at once.
    You will not see it coming ahead of time.

¹²“So keep on casting your magic spells.
    Keep on practicing your evil magic.
    You have been doing those things ever since you were a child.
Perhaps they will help you.
    Maybe they will scare your enemies away.
¹³All the advice you have received
    has only worn you out!
    Let those who study the heavens come forward.
They claim to know what is going to happen
    by watching the stars every month.
So let them save you from the trouble
    that is coming on you.
