Isaiah 8:17-19

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷ And I will ^(A)wait for the Lord ^(B)who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will wait eagerly for Him. ^18 (C)Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for ^(D)signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, who ^(E)dwells on Mount Zion.

¹⁹ When they say to you, “^(F)Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should a people not ^(G)consult their God? Should they ^(H)consult the dead in behalf of the living?
