Isaiah is a hard to read book, one about a prophet of God giving foreboding messages to kingdoms that have turned against God. There's a whole lot of symbolism, too. It seems to be talking about Babylon, which is sometimes depicted as a woman gone astray, though I'm not sure if when they say Babylon, they're talking about Babylon the kingdom, or using it metaphorically to warn against all God's enemies.

I think this basically says magic is not stronger then God.

Isaiah is a wonderful book full of wisdom

it is a warning to each of us (who listen to the Lord)

without truth, we will devolve into all kinds of folly

Actually, there are no stupid honest questions.

@Jayhawker Soule is probably just concerned this is a covert "Do you see lucid dreaming and astral projection?" thread that's not really about Isaiah 47 which is a pretty good chapter about Babylon and in fact, I happen to like the whole book of Isaiah despite not being a Christian.

Like as we can see here, the question goes back to magic:

I think this basically says magic is not stronger then God.

In which case, after I carefully answered assuming the question wasn't about magic, I'll now answer the question that is about magic, and say.... I think the Bible does depict God as stronger than magic, but to the best of my knowledge, the Bible is also kind of against magic, sorcery, etc.

I simply think that Isaiah 47:5 is clearly nowhere near as interesting as is Exodus 35:3.
