47:15 They will disappoint you, 1
those you have so faithfully dealt with since your youth. 2
Each strays off in his own direction, 3
leaving no one to rescue you.”
1 tn Heb “So they will be to you”; NIV “That is all they can do for you.”
2 tn Heb “that for which you toiled, your traders from your youth.” The omen readers and star gazers are likened to merchants with whom Babylon has had an ongoing economic relationship.
3 tn Heb “each to his own side, they err.”
