"Stand fast now in your ^(ah)spells And in your many sorceries With which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you may cause trembling.

"You are ^(ai)wearied with your many counsels; Let now the ^(aj)astrologers, Those who prophesy by the stars, Those who predict by the new moons, Stand up and ^(ak)save you from what will come upon you.

"Behold, they have become ^(al)like stubble, ^(am)Fire burns them; They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame; There will be ^(an)no coal to warm by Nor a fire to sit before!

"So have those become to you with whom you have labored, Who have ^(ao)trafficked with you from your youth; Each has wandered in his own ^[e]way; There is ^(ap)none to save you.
