Isaiah 8:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ When they say to you, “^(A)Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people ^(B)consult their God? Should they ^(C)consult the dead on behalf of the living? ²⁰ To the ^[a](D)law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because ^(E)they have no dawn. ²¹ They will pass through ^[b]the land ^(F)hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse ^[c]their king and their God as they face upward.
