Isaiah · chapter 8 · verse 22
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.Isaiah 8:22 · King James Version
Isaiah 8:22 in context
20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

In these verses we have, I. The unspeakable privilege which the people of God enjoy in having the oracles of God consigned over to them, and being entrusted with the sacred writings. That they may sanctify the Lord of hosts, may make him their fear and find him their sanctuary, bind up the testimony, Isa 8:16.
— Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on verses 16-22
