• Isaiah 47:12, 13
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 12 Go ahead, then, with your spells and your many sorceries,+

      With which you have toiled from your youth.

      Perhaps you may be able to benefit;

      Perhaps you may strike people with awe.

      13 You have grown weary with the multitude of your advisers.

      Let them stand up now and save you,

      Those who worship the heavens,* who gaze at the stars,+

      Those giving out knowledge at the new moons

      About the things that will come upon you.

  • Daniel 2:10, 11
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 10 The Chal·deʹans answered the king: “There is not a man on earth* who is able to do what the king demands, for no great king or governor has asked such a thing of any magic-practicing priest or conjurer or Chal·deʹan. 11 What the king is asking is difficult, and no one exists who could tell the king this except the gods, who do not dwell among mortals.”*
