Isaiah 8:17-19
English Standard Version
17 I will (A)wait for the Lord, who is (B)hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18 (C)Behold, I and (D)the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 And when they say to you, “Inquire of the (E)mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of (F)the dead on behalf of the living?
