16. Bind up the witness, seal the Torah among my taught ones.
17. And I shall wait on יהוה, who hides His face from the house of Ya‛aqoḇ. And I shall look for Him.
18. Look, I and the children whom יהוה has given me – for signs and wonders in Yisra’ĕl from יהוה of hosts, who dwells in Mount Tsiyon.
19. And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their Elohim? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?
20. To the Torah and to the witness! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because they have no daybreak.
21. And they shall pass through it hard pressed and hungry. And it shall be, when they are hungry, that they shall be wroth and curse their sovereign and their Elohim, looking upward.
22. And they shall look to the earth and see distress and darkness, gloom of hard times, and be driven into thick darkness.
