Isaiah 8:21

English Standard Version

21 They will pass through the land,[1] greatly distressed and hungry. And when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will speak contemptuously against[2] their king and their God, and turn their faces upward. 

New International Version

21 Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upwards, will curse their king and their God. 

New International Reader’s Version

21 They will suffer and be hungry. They’ll wander through the land. When they are very hungry, they will become angry. They’ll look up towards heaven. They’ll ask for bad things to happen to their king and their God. 

King James Version

21 And 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.
