When men
tell you to
consult the
spirits of
the
dead
and the spiritists
who whisper
and mutter ,
shouldn’t
a people consult their God instead
? Why
consult
the
dead
on behalf of the living?
When they
shall
tell you ,
"
Consult with
those
who
have
familiar
spirits and with
the wizards,
who chirp
and who
mutter :"
shouldn't
a people consult with
their God? on behalf of the living [should
they
consult]
with
the
dead

there
is
no morning

roam
the
land
, dejected
and hungry .
When they are
famished
, they will
become
enraged;
and
looking
upward
, they
will
curse their king and their God .
They shall
pass
through
it
, sore
distressed
and hungry ;
and
it
shall
happen
that
when they shall
be
hungry
, they shall
fret
themselves
, and
curse by
their king and by
their God ,
and
turn
their
faces
upward:
Then
they will
look to the earth and see only
distress and darkness and
the gloom of anguish .
And they will
be driven into
utter
darkness
.
and
they shall
look to the earth ,
and see ,
distress and darkness ,
the gloom of anguish ;
and into
thick
darkness
[
they shall
be ]
driven away
.
