Isaiah 8:20

The Darkness Turns To Light

¹⁹ And when they say unto you, 'Seek unto those having familiar spirits, And unto wizards, who chatter and mutter, Doth not a people seek unto its God? -- For the living unto the dead! ²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, 'That there is no dawn to it.' ²¹ -- And it hath passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it hath come to pass, That it is hungry, and hath been wroth, And made light of its king, and of its God, And hath looked upwards.
