11 Therefore evil shall come upon you;
You shall not know from where it arises.
And trouble shall fall upon you;
You will not be able [a]to put it off.
And (A)desolation shall come upon you (B)suddenly,
Which you shall not know.

12 “Stand now with your enchantments
And the multitude of your sorceries,
In which you have labored from your youth—
Perhaps you will be able to profit,
Perhaps you will prevail.
13 (C)You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
Let now (D)the[b] astrologers, the stargazers,
And [c]the monthly prognosticators
Stand up and save you
From what shall come upon you.
