Parallel
Isaiah 8:19
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
et cum dixerint ad vos : Quærite a pythonibus et a divinis qui strident in incantationibus suis : numquid non populus a Deo suo requiret, pro vivis a mortuis ?
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?
