|
|
20. To the law and to the testimony! if they don't speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
|
20. To the law H8451 and to the testimony H8584 : if H518 they speak H559 not H3808 according to this H2088 word H1697 , it is because H834 there is no H369 light H7837 in them.
|
|

|
|
22. 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.
|
22. And they shall look H5027 unto H413 the earth H776 ; and behold H2009 trouble H6869 and darkness H2825 , dimness H4588 of anguish H6695 ; and they shall be driven H5080 to darkness H653 .
