31 “‘Do not turn yourselves to the spirit mediums,*+ and do not consult professional foretellers of events,+ so as to become unclean by them. I am Jehovah YOUR God.

6 “‘As for the soul who turns himself to the spirit mediums+ and the professional foretellers+ of events so as to have immoral intercourse with them, I shall certainly set my face against that soul and cut him off from among his people.+

7 Finally Saul said to his servants: “Seek for me a woman who is a mistress of spirit mediumship,+ and I will go to her and consult her.” Then his servants said to him: “Look! There is a woman who is a mistress of spirit mediumship in En-dor.”+

19 And in case they should say to YOU people: “Apply to the spiritistic mediums+ or to those having a spirit of prediction who are chirping+ and making utterances in low tones,”* is it not to its God that any people should apply?+ [Should there be application] to dead persons in behalf of living persons?+

16 And it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain servant girl with a spirit,+ a demon of divination,*+ met us. She used to furnish her masters with much gain+ by practicing the art of prediction.
