### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Isaiah mocks the "monthly prognosticators" of Babylon, who told the future by the stars and the months. They cannot save her from the coming fall. Interpretation: The tradition teaches that Israel should trust God and not star-reading. The prophet shows that such fortune-telling has no power.

### examples

- Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee. (Prophets ISA.47.13, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/prognosticator/#x1)
