Isaiah 8:16-20
16Bind upH6887 the testimonyH8584, sealH2856 the lawH8451 among my disciplesH3928. 17And I will waitH2442 upon YhwhH3068, that hidethH5641 his faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and I will lookH6960 for him. 18Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, which dwellethH7931 in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
19And when they shall sayH559 unto you, SeekH1875 unto them that have familiar spiritsH178, and unto wizardsH3049 that peepH6850, and that mutterH1897: should not a peopleH5971 seekH1875 unto their GodH430? for the livingH2416 to the deadH4191? 20To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584: if they speakH559 not according to this wordH1697, it is because there is no lightH7837 in them.1
