Isaiah 8:12-22

12“You are not to sayH559, ‘It is a 1conspiracyH7195!’ In regard to allH3605 that thisH2088 peopleH5971 callH559 a conspiracyH7195, And 2you are not to fearH3372 3whatH4172 they fearH4172 or be in dreadH6206 of it.13It is the 4LordH3068 of hostsH6635 5whom you should regardH6942 as holyH6942. And He shall be your fearH4172, And He shall be your dreadH6206.14Then He shall becomeH1961 a 6sanctuaryH4720; But to bothH8147 the housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, a 7stoneH68 to strikeH5063 and a rockH6697 to stumbleH4383 over, And a snareH6341 and a 8trapH4170 for the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.15ManyH7227 9will stumbleH3782 over them, Then they will fallH5307 and be brokenH7665; They will even be snaredH3369 and caughtH3920.”

1610BindH6887 up the testimonyH8584, 11sealH2856 the 12lawH8451 among 13my disciplesH3928. 17And I will 14waitH2442 for the LordH3068 15who is hidingH5641 His faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290; I will even lookH6960 eagerlyH6960 for Him. 1816BeholdH2009, I and the childrenH3206 whomH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 me are for 17signsH226 and wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, who 18dwellsH7931 on MountH2022 ZionH6726.

19WhenH3588 they sayH559 to you, “19ConsultH1875 the mediumsH178 and the spiritistsH3049 who whisperH6850 and mutterH1897,” should not a peopleH5971 20consultH1875 their GodH430? Should they 21consult the deadH4191 on behalfH1157 of the livingH2416? 20To the 2223lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! IfH518 they do not speakH559 according to thisH2088 wordH1697, it is becauseH834 24they haveH369 noH369 dawnH7837. 21They will passH5674 through 25the land 26hard-pressedH7185 and famishedH7457, and it will turnH6437 out that whenH3588 they are hungryH7456, they will be enragedH7107 and curseH7043 27their kingH4428 and their GodH430 as they faceH6437 upwardH4605. 22Then they will 28lookH5027 to the earthH776, and beholdH2009, distressH6869 and darknessH2825, the gloomH4588 of anguishH6695; and they will be 29drivenH5080 awayH5080 into darknessH653.
