ISAIAH. 47. vers. 12, 13, 14. ¶Stand now among thine enchanters, and in the multitude of soothsayers, (with whom thou hast wearied thy self from thy youth) if so be thou mayst have profit, or if so be thou mayst have strength. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the Astrologers, the Star-gazers, and Prognosticators stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burn them, they shall not deliver their own lives from the power of the flame: there shall be no coals to warm at, nor light to sit by.
