New American Standard Bible 1995
Isaiah 8:19-22
19When they say to you, “1Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people 2consult their God? Should they 3consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20To the 45law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because 6they have no dawn.
21They will pass through 7the land 8hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse 9their king and their God as they face upward.
22Then they will 10look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be 11driven away into darkness.
