Isaiah 47:7-15

You said, ‘I will be the queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or think about their outcome. “So now hear this, lover of luxury, who sits securely,  who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is no one else. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’  These two things will happen to you suddenly, in one day: loss of children and widowhood. They will happen to you in their entirety, in spite of your many sorceries  and the potency of your spells. You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’  Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray. You said to yourself, ‘I am, and there is no one else.’ But disaster will happen to you; you will not know how to avert it. And it will fall on you, but you will be unable to ward it off.  Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.  So take your stand with your spells and your many sorceries, which you have wearied yourself with from your youth. Perhaps you will be able to succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror! You are worn out with your many consultations. So let the astrologers stand and save you — those who observe the stars,  those who predict monthly what will happen to you. Look, they are like stubble;  fire burns them.  They cannot rescue themselves from the power of the flame. This is not a coal for warming themselves, or a fire to sit beside! This is what they are to you — those who have wearied you and have traded with you from your youth — each wanders on his own way; no one can save you.
