And when they shall say H559 (QalImpf) unto you, Seek H1875 (QalImpv) unto them that have familiar spirits, H178 and unto wizards H3049 that peep, H6850 (PilpPtc) and that mutter: H1897 (HiphPtc) should not a people H5971 seek H1875 (QalImpf) unto their God? H430 for the living H2416 to the dead? H4191 (QalPtc)

και εαν ειπωσιν προς υμας ζητησατε τους απο της γης φωνουντας και τους εγγαστριμυθους τους κενολογουντας οι εκ της κοιλιας φωνουσιν ουκ εθνος προς θεον αυτου τι εκζητουσιν περι των ζωντων τους νεκρους
