Isaiah 8:19 Context
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? 20To the Law and to the Testimonie: if they speake not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 21And they shall passe through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to passe, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselues, and curse their King, and their God, and looke vpward.
