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.

22 Y mirarán á la tierra, y he aquí tribulación y tiniebla, oscuridad [y] angustia; y serán sumidos en las tinieblas.
