Disaster will come upon you,and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly come upon you.
"Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
All the counsel you have received
has only worn you out!
Let your astrologers come forward,
those stargazers
who make predictions month by month,
let them save you from what is coming upon you.
~ Isaiah 47
