Isaiah 8:19-21
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.

The Darkness Turns to Light
19 When someone tells you to consult(A) mediums and spiritists,(B) who whisper and mutter,(C) should not a people inquire(D) of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God’s instruction(E) and the testimony of warning.(F) If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light(G) of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry,(H) they will roam through the land;(I) when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse(J) their king and their God.
