Isaiah 8:21-22

International Standard Version

²¹ “They’ll pass through the land,^[a]
    while^[b] greatly distressed and hungry.
When they are hungry,
    they’ll become enraged,
and they’ll curse their king and their god.^[c]
    They’ll turn their faces upwards,
²² or they’ll look toward the^[d] earth,
    but they’ll see only distress and darkness,
the gloom that comes from anguish,
    and then they’ll be thrown into total darkness.”
