Isaiah 8:19

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?

World English Bible (WEB)

When they 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? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

King James Version (KJV)

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

American Standard Version (ASV)

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living [should they seek] unto the dead?

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

¿Por qué, pues, procuran averiguar el futuro consultando a brujas y médium? No escuchen sus bisbiseos y murmullos. ¿Podrán los vivos obtener de los muertos la revelación del futuro? ¿Por qué no se lo preguntan a su Dios?
