Isaiah 8:19 in Context — Isaiah 8
17 Esperaré pues á Jehová, el cual escondió su rostro de la casa de Jacob, y á él aguardaré.
18 He aquí, yo y los hijos que me dió Jehová, por señales y prodigios en Israel, de parte de Jehová de los ejércitos que mora en el monte de Sión.
19 Y si os dijeren: Preguntad á los pythones y á los adivinos, que susurran hablando, [responded]: ¿No consultará el pueblo á su Dios? ¿[Apelará] por los vivos á los muertos?
20 ¡A la ley y al testimonio! Si no dijeren conforme á esto, es porque no les ha amanecido.
21 Y pasarán por él fatigados y hambrientos, y acontecerá que teniendo hambre, se enojarán y maldecirán á su rey y á su Dios, levantando el rostro en alto.
