Isaiah 8:20-22
GOD’S WORD Translation
20 They should go to the teachings and to the written instructions.
If people don’t speak these words,
it is because it doesn’t dawn on them.
21 They will pass through the land when they are hard-pressed and hungry.
When they are hungry, they will be furious.
Then they will look up, cursing their king and God.
22 They will look at the earth and see only distress and gloom.
They will go in anguish and be forced into darkness.
Isaiah 8:20-22
New International Version
20 Consult God’s instruction(A) and the testimony of warning.(B) If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light(C) of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry,(D) they will roam through the land;(E) when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse(F) their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom,(G) and they will be thrust into utter darkness.(H)
