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.+

11 or one who binds others with a spell+ or anyone who consults a spirit medium*+ or a professional foreteller of events+ or anyone who inquires of the dead.+

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.”+

13 Thus Saul died for his unfaithfulness with which he had acted faithlessly+ against Jehovah concerning the word of Jehovah that he had not kept and also for asking of a spirit medium+ to make inquiry.

6 And he himself made his own sons pass through the fire+ in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ and practiced magic+ and used divination+ and practiced sorcery+ and made spiritistic mediums+ and professional foretellers+ of events. He did on a grand scale what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend him.+

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?+

20 idolatry, practice of spiritism,*+ enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects,*

8 But as for the cowards and those without faith+ and those who are disgusting in their filth+ and murderers+ and fornicators+ and those practicing spiritism* and idolaters+ and all the liars,+ their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire+ and sulphur.+ This means* the second death.”+
