Isaiah 8:17-22
17I will waitH2442 for the LORDH3068, who is hidingH5641 His faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290. I will put my trustH6960 in Him.1
18HereH2009 am IH595, and the childrenH3206 the LORDH3068 has givenH5414 me2 as signsH226 and symbolsH4159 in IsraelH3478 fromH5973 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, who dwellsH7931 on MountH2022 ZionH6726.
19WhenH3588 men tellH559 youH413 to consultH1875H413 mediumsH178H413 and spiritistsH3049 who whisperH6850 and mutterH1897, shouldn’tH3808 a peopleH5971H413 consultH1875 their GodH430 instead? Why consult the deadH4191 on behalf ofH1157 the livingH2416H413? 20To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! IfH518 they do notH3808 speakH559 according to thisH2088 wordH1697, they have noH369 light of dawnH7837.
21They will roam the landH5674, dejectedH7185 and hungryH7457H1961. WhenH3588 they are famishedH7456, they will become enragedH7107; and lookingH6437 upwardH4605, they will curseH7043 their kingH4428 and their GodH430. 22Then they will lookH5027 toH413 the earthH776 and seeH2009 only distressH6869 and darknessH2825 and the gloomH4588 of anguishH6695. And they will be drivenH5080 into utter darknessH653.
