Isaiah 8:11-18
11For thus Yahweh spoke to me with a astrong hand and disciplined me bnot to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12“You are not to say, ‘It is a aconspiracy!’In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy;And byou are not to fear 1what they fear, and you shall not tremble.13“It is aYahweh of hosts bwhom you should regard as holy.And He shall be your fear,And He shall be your cause of trembling.14“Then He shall become a asanctuary;But to both the houses of Israel, a bstone to strike and a rock to stumble over,And a snare and a ctrap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.15“And many awill stumble over them;Then they will fall and be broken;They will even be snared and caught.”16aBind up the testimony, bseal the 1law among cmy disciples. 17And I will await for Yahweh bwho is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; and I will hope for Him. 18aBehold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for bsigns and wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who cdwells on Mount Zion.
