16  Bind up the testimony, iseal the law among my kdisciples.

17  And I will lwait upon the Lord,

That mhideth his face from the house of Jacob,

And I will nlook for him.

18  oBehold, I and pthe children whom the Lord hath given me

Are qfor signs and qfor rwonders in Israel

From the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

19  And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto sthem that have familiar spirits,

And unto swizards tthat peep, and uthat mutter:

vShould not a people seek unto their God?

For the living to wthe dead?

20  xTo the law and to the testimony:

yIf they speak not according to this word,

zIt is because there is †no light in them.

21  And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and ahungry:

And it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves,

And bcurse their king and their God, and look upward.

22  And cthey shall look unto the earth;

And behold dtrouble and darkness, edimness of danguish;

And they shall be driven to darkness.
