¹³ You are worn out with your many consultations.
So let them stand and save you—
the astrologers,^[a] who observe the stars,^(A)
who predict monthly
what will happen to you.

⁴ Because of the continual prostitution of the prostitute,
the attractive mistress of sorcery,
who betrays nations by her prostitution
and clans by her witchcraft,^(A)

²³ the light of a lamp
will never shine in you again;
and the voice of a groom and bride
will never be heard in you again.^(A)
All this will happen
because your merchants
were the nobility of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived
by your sorcery,^[a]
