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.
