New American Standard Bible 1995
Isaiah 8:16-20
161Bind up the testimony, 2seal the 3law among 4my disciples. 17And I will 5wait for the Lord 6who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him. 187Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for 8signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who 9dwells on Mount Zion.
19When they say to you, “10Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people 11consult their God? Should they 12consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20To the 1314law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because 15they have no dawn.
