Isaiah 8:19-22
Legacy Standard Bible

Darkness to Light Through the Prince of Peace

19 Now when they say to you, “(A)Inquire of the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people (B)inquire of their God? Should they (C)inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the [a](D)law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because (E)they have no dawn. 21 And they will pass through [b]the land (F)hard-pressed and hungry, and it will be that when they are hungry, they will be angry and curse [c]their king and their God as they face upward. 22 Then they will (G)look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be (H)banished into thick darkness.

Isaiah 8:19-22
Lexham English Bible

19 Now if they tell you, “Consult the ghosts and the spirits, those who chirp and those who mutter. Should not a people consult its gods, the dead on behalf of the living, 20 for teaching and for testimony?” surely they who speak like this have no dawn.[a]

21 And it[b] will pass through it[c] distressed and hungry, and this shall happen: when it is hungry, it will be enraged, and it will curse its king and its gods,[d] and it will face upwar 22 or look to the earth. But look! Distress and darkness, the gloom of affliction! And it will be thrust into darkness!
