18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of the hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto spiritists and unto wizards that peep and that mutter; shall the people not seek unto their God? Shall we appeal for the living unto the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 Then they shall pass through this land, fatigued and hungry, and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves and curse their king and their God. And raising their face high,
22 they shall look upon the earth and behold tribulation and gross darkness, darkness and anguish; and they shall be submerged in gross darkness.
