Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 47 of Isaiah. Babylon appears as a woman who believed herself to be a permanent queen, but she will be humbled. Her confidence in wisdom, sorcery, commerce, and political power cannot prevent judgment. Her fall demonstrates that a civilization that interprets prosperity as invulnerability eventually faces the reality of its own fragility.

So tritt nun auf mit deinen Beschwörern und der Menge deiner Zauberer, unter welchen du dich von deiner Jugend auf bemüht hast, ob du dir könntest raten, ob du dich könntest stärken.
Estate ahora en tus encantamentos, y con la multitud de tus agüeros, en los cuales te fatigaste desde tu niñez; quizá podrás mejorarte, quizá te fortificarás.
Persiste, pues, en tus encantamientos y en tus muchas hechicerías, en las que te has fatigado desde tu juventud. Quizá puedas sacar provecho, quizá puedas causar temor.
Reste donc au milieu de tes enchantements Et de la multitude de tes sortilèges, Auxquels tu as consacré ton travail dès ta jeunesse; Peut-être pourras-tu en tirer profit, Peut-être deviendras-tu redoutable.
Sta’ ora in piè con le tue incantagioni, e con la moltitudine delle tue malie, intorno alle quali tu ti sei affaticata fin dalla tua fanciullezza; forse potrai far qualche giovamento, forse ti fortificherai.
Deixa-te estar com os teus encantamentos, e com a multidão das tuas feitiçarias, em que trabalhaste desde a tua mocidade, a ver se podes tirar proveito, ou se porventura te podes fortalecer.
