Isaiah 8:18-20

Contemporary English Version

^18 (A) My children and I are warning signs to Israel from the Lord All-Powerful, who lives on Mount Zion.

¹⁹ Someone may say to you, “Go to the fortunetellers who make soft chirping sounds or ask the spirits of the dead. After all, a nation ought to be able to ask its own gods ²⁰ what it should do.”

None of those who talk like that will live to see the light of day!
