Isaiah 8:17-19
New American Standard Bible
King James Version
18Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

Chapter 8
17I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob. I will wait for him.
18Here I am with the children the Lord has given me to be signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of Armies who dwells on Mount Zion.
19When they say to you, "Inquire of the mediums and the spiritists who chirp and mutter," shouldn’t a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?
