Isaiah 8:20

The Darkness Turns To Light

¹⁹ And when they shall say to you, Seek for those who have familiar spirits and for the wizards, who chirp and who mutter, should not a people seek for their God? On behalf of the living [seek] to the dead? ²⁰ [Seek] to the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. ²¹ And they shall pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry. And it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward.
