Isaiah 8:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸Watch out! I and the children
    whom the Lord has given me
are a sign and a wonder^[a] in Israel
    from the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
        who resides on Mount Zion.”

¹⁹“So when they advise you,

‘Ask the mediums your questions,
    and quiz the spiritists who chirp and mutter,’
shouldn’t a people instead be consulting their God—^[b]
    and not the dead—
on behalf of those who are living
²⁰for instruction and for testimony?
    Surely they are speaking like this
        because the truth^[c] hasn’t dawned on them.
