Isaiah 8:19-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 When they say to you, “(A)Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people (B)consult their God? Should they (C)consult 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 They will pass through [b]the land (F)hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged 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)driven away into darkness.

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.
