18 Eis aqui, eu e os filhos que o SENHOR me deu, [somos] como sinais e como maravilhas em Israel, pelo SENHOR dos exércitos, que habita no monte de Sião.
19 E quando vos disserem: Consultai aos que se comunicam com os mortos e aos encantadores que murmuram, sussurrando entre os dentes.Por acaso não deveria o povo consultar ao seu Deus? [Perguntarão] aos mortos por causa dos vivos?
20 [Respondei] : À Lei e ao testemunho!Se não falarem segundo esta palavra, não haverá amanhecer para eles.
21 E passarão pela [terra] ,duramente oprimidos e famintos; e será que, quando tiverem fome e ficarem enfurecidos, então amaldiçoarão ao seu rei e ao seu Deus, olhando para cima.
