¹⁹ They will say to you, ‘Go to the people who speak to the spirits of dead people. Go to the magicians who speak magic words. They will tell you what you should do. People should ask their gods and spirits to give them messages. People who are alive should ask the spirits of dead people to help them.’

²⁰ When they say that to you, remember my teaching. Tell them what I have said will happen. People who talk like that are completely in the dark. There is no truth in what they say. ²¹ Then the people will travel through the land, and they will be sad and hungry. Because of their hunger they will become angry.^[a] They will curse their king and their God, as they look up to the sky.
