Isaiah 8:20–9:1

²⁰for teaching and for instruction?” surely those who speak like this will have no dawn!^{* 21}They will pass through the land,^z greatly distressed and hungry; when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will curse^a their king and their gods. They will turn their faces upward,^{* 22}or they will look to the earth, but they will see only distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and they will be thrust into thick darkness.^b*
