Isaiah 8:19-22 ▼

19 And when they say to you, “Inquire of ghosts and soothsayers who chirp and mutter; should not a people inquire of their gods, consulting the dead on behalf of the living,

20 for instruction and testimony?” Surely, those who speak like this are the ones for whom there is no dawn.

21 He will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry, and when hungry, shall become enraged, and curse king and gods. He will look upward,

22 and will gaze at the earth, But will see only distress and darkness, oppressive gloom, murky, without light.
