Isaiah 8:19–22

¹⁹When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?↗

²⁰Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.↗

²¹They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,↗

²²then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.↗
