イザヤ書 8:20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Study Note
The appeal 'to the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them' establishes Scripture as the normative criterion for distinguishing true from false prophetic speech. The 'law and testimony' likely refers to the Mosaic Torah and the prophetic traditions, together constituting the authoritative word against which all spiritual claims must be tested. The verse has been foundational for Protestant hermeneutics (sola Scriptura), particularly in polemic against traditions claimed to supplement or override biblical teaching. In its original context, the verse calls Isaiah's disciples to test the competing voices of necromancers and false seers by the already-given revelation.
