Isaiah 8:19-22
19WhenH3588 they sayH559 to you, “1ConsultH1875 the mediumsH178 and the spiritistsH3049 who whisperH6850 and mutterH1897,” should not a peopleH5971 2consultH1875 their GodH430? Should they 3consult the deadH4191 on behalfH1157 of the livingH2416?
20To the 45lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! IfH518 they do not speakH559 according to thisH2088 wordH1697, it is becauseH834 6they haveH369 noH369 dawnH7837.
21They will passH5674 through 7the land 8hard-pressedH7185 and famishedH7457, and it will turnH6437 out that whenH3588 they are hungryH7456, they will be enragedH7107 and curseH7043 9their kingH4428 and their GodH430 as they faceH6437 upwardH4605.
22Then they will 10lookH5027 to the earthH776, and beholdH2009, distressH6869 and darknessH2825, the gloomH4588 of anguishH6695; and they will be 11drivenH5080 awayH5080 into darknessH653.
