¹³ You are worn out with your many consultations.
So let the astrologers stand and save you –
those who observe the stars,^(A)
those who predict monthly
what will happen to you.

⁴ Because of the continual prostitution of the prostitute,
the attractive mistress of sorcery,
who treats nations and clans like merchandise
by her prostitution and sorcery,^(A)

²³ the light of a lamp
will never shine in you again;
and the voice of a groom and bride
will never be heard in you again.^(A)
All this will happen
because your merchants
were the nobility of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived
by your sorcery.
