Isaiah 8:17 Context
15And many among them shall stumble and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. 16Binde vp the Testimonie, seale the Law among my disciples. 17And I wil wait vpon the Lord that hideth his face from the house of Iacob, and I will looke for him. 18Behold, I, and the children whom the Lord hath giuen me, are for signes, and for wonders in Israel: from the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 19¶ And when they shall say vnto you; Seeke vnto them that haue familiar spirits, and vnto wizards that peepe and that mutter: should not a people seeke vnto their God? for the liuing, to the dead?

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 8:17
8:17 Yet - Yet, notwithstanding this dreadful prophecy concerning the rejection of Israel. Wait - I will cast my care upon him, and expect the accomplishment of his promise, in sending the Messiah, and in conferring upon me and all believing Israelites all his mercies and blessings. Hideth - That now withdraws his favour and blessings, from the people of Israel.
