New Testament

Isaiah 47:11-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

11. But without warning,disaster will strike—and your magic charmswon't help at all.

12. Keep using your magic powersand your charmsas you have always done.Perhaps—just perhaps—you will frighten somebody!

13. You have worn yourself out,asking for advicefrom those who study the starsand tell the futuremonth after month.Go and ask them how to be savedfrom what will happen.

14. People who trust the starsare as helpless as strawin a flaming fire.No one can even keep warm,sitting by a firethat feeds only on straw.

15. These are the fortune-tellersyou have done business withall your life.But they don't knowwhere they are going,and they can't save you.
