Isa 8:19, 44:25, 47:9-13, Gal 3:1 | ESV | STEP | And when they say to you, Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter , should not a people inquire of their God ? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living ?

Isaiah 8:19

19 And when they say to you, “Inquire of the ^amediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of ^bthe dead on behalf of the living?

Isaiah 44:25

25 who frustrates the signs of liars
and makes fools of diviners,
^cwho turns wise men back
and makes their knowledge foolish,

Isaiah 47:9-13

9 ^dThese two things shall come to you
in a moment, ^ein one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
^fin spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.
10 You felt secure in your wickedness;
you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
^g“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
11 But evil shall come upon you,
which you will not know how to charm away;
disaster shall fall upon you,
for which you will not be able to atone;
^hand ruin shall come upon you suddenly,
of which you know nothing.
12 ⁱStand fast in your enchantments
and your many sorceries,
with which you have labored from your youth;
perhaps you may be able to succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.
13 You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
^jthose who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.

Galatians 3:1

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? ^kIt was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly ^lportrayed as crucified.
