Isaiah 8:19-22
Modern English Version
19 When they say to you, “Seek after the mediums and the wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek after their God? Should they consult the dead for the living? 20 To the law and to the testimony; if they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 21 They shall pass through the land hard-pressed and hungry; when they are hungry, they shall be furious and curse their king and their God as they look upward. 22 Then they shall look to the earth and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish. And they shall be driven away into darkness.

Isaiah 8:19-22
New King James Version
19 And when they say to you, (A)“Seek those who are mediums and wizards, (B)who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they (C)seek the dead on behalf of the living? 20 (D)To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because (E)there[a] is no light in them.
21 They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and (F)curse [b]their king and their God, and look upward. 22 Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.
