Isaiah 8:20-22
International Standard Version
20 for instruction and for testimony?
Surely they are speaking like this
because the truth[a] hasn’t dawned on them.
21 “They’ll pass through the land,[b]
while[c] greatly distressed and hungry.
When they are hungry,
they’ll become enraged,
and they’ll curse their king and their god.[d]
They’ll turn their faces upwards,
22 or they’ll look toward the[e] earth,
but they’ll see only distress and darkness,
the gloom that comes from anguish,
and then they’ll be thrown into total darkness.”
