Isaiah 8:19-22
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And when they shall say unto you, Inquire at them that have a spirit of divination, and at the soothsayers which whisper and murmur, [a]Should not a people inquire at their God? from the [b]living to the dead?
20 To the [c]Law, and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word: it is because there is no [d]light in them.
21 Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and fro in [e]it: and when he shall be hungry, he shall even fret himself, [f]and curse his king and his gods, and shall look upward.
22 And when he shall look to the earth, behold trouble, and [g]darkness, vexation, and anguish, and he is driven to darkness.
