Isaiah 8:17

17 I will wait for the Lord. He is turning his face away from Jacob's people. I will put my trust in him.

Isaiah 8:17 In-Context

15 Many of them will trip. They will fall and be broken. They will be trapped and captured."
16 Keep safe what the LORD said to you through me. Seal up among my followers what he taught you through me.
17 I will wait for the Lord. He is turning his face away from Jacob's people. I will put my trust in him.
18 Here I am. Here are the children the LORD has given me. We are signs and reminders to Israel from the LORD who rules over all. He lives on Mount Zion.
19 Some will tell you to ask for advice from people who get messages from those who have died. Others will tell you to ask for advice from people who talk to the spirits of the dead. But those people only whisper. Their words are barely heard. So shouldn't you ask for advice from your God? Why should you get advice from dead people to help those who are alive?
