Isaiah 47:12 · American Standard Version

Isaiah 47:12 in context

  1. 10For you have trusted in your wickedness.
    You have said, ‘No one sees me.’
    Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you.
    You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
  2. 11Therefore disaster will come on you.
    You won’t know when it dawns.
    Mischief will fall on you.
    You won’t be able to put it away.
    Desolation will come on you suddenly,
    which you don’t understand.
  3. 12“Stand now with your enchantments
    and with the multitude of your sorceries,
    in which you have labored from your youth,
    as if you might profit,
    as if you might prevail.
  4. 13You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels.
    Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
  5. 14Behold, they are like stubble.
    The fire will burn them.
    They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame.
    It won’t be a coal to warm at
    or a fire to sit by.
