Isaiah 8:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ You are to answer them, “Listen to what the Lord is teaching you! Don't listen to mediums—what they tell you cannot keep trouble away.”^[a]

A Time of Trouble

²¹ The people will wander through the land, discouraged and hungry. In their hunger and their anger they will curse their king and their God. They may look up to the sky ²² or stare at the ground, but they will see nothing but trouble and darkness, terrifying darkness into which they are being driven.
