Isaiah 8:20-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. for instruction and testimony?” Surely, those who speak like this are the ones for whom there is no dawn.

21. He will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry,and when hungry, shall become enraged,and curse king and gods.He will look upward,

22. and will gaze at the earth,But will see only distress and darkness,oppressive gloom,murky, without light.

23. There is no gloom where there had been distress. Where once he degraded the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, now he has glorified the way of the Sea, the land across the Jordan, Galilee of the Nations.
