Isaiah 8:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ I am here with the children that the Lord has given me.
We are signs and symbols in Israel
from the Lord of Armies, who lives on Mount Zion.
¹⁹ People will say to you, “Ask for help from the mediums
and the fortunetellers, who whisper and mutter.”
Shouldn’t people ask their God for help instead?
Why should they ask the dead to help the living?
²⁰ They should go to the teachings and to the written instructions.
If people don’t speak these words,
it is because it doesn’t dawn on them.
