Isaiah 8:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ Look! I and the children whom Yahweh has given to me are like signs and portents in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, the one who dwells on the mountain of Zion. ¹⁹ Now if they tell you, “Consult the ghosts and the spirits, those who chirp and those who mutter. Should not a people consult its gods, the dead on behalf of the living, ²⁰ for teaching and for testimony?” surely they who speak like this have no dawn.^[a]
