Isaiah 47:15

Isaiah 47:15

13 ^aYou are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
Let now ^bthe astrologers, the stargazers,
And¹ the monthly prognosticators
Stand up and save you
From what shall come upon you.

14 Behold, they shall be ^aas stubble,
The fire shall ^bburn them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,
Nor a fire to sit before!

15 Thus shall they be to you
With whom you have labored,
^aYour merchants from your youth;
They shall wander each one to his¹ quarter.
No one shall save you.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 47:14

Isaiah 48:1 >>

Thus - Such comfortless and helpless creatures. They - Merchants who came from several countries to trade with Babylon. And the verse may be thus rendered; Thus (vain and unprofitable) shall they (thy sorcerers) with whom thou hast laboured be unto thee: (So here is only a transposition of words, than which nothing is more usual in scripture. Then follows another matter:) also thy merchants, or they with whom thou hast traded from thy youth, shall wander every one to his own quarter.
