Isaiah 8:9-16

9Make an uproar, O ye peoplesH5971, and be broken in pieces; and giveH238 earH238, all ye of far countries: girdH247 yourselves, and be broken in pieces; girdH247 yourselves, and be broken in pieces. 10Take counselH6098 together, and it shall be brought to nought; speakH1696 the wordH1697, and it shall not standH6965: for GodH410 is with us. 11For Jehovah spake thusH3541 to me with a strong handH3027, and instructed me not to walk in the wayH1870 of this peopleH5971, sayingH559, 12SayH559 ye not, A conspiracyH7195, concerning all whereof this peopleH5971 shall sayH559, A conspiracyH7195; neither fearH3372 ye their fearH3372, nor be in dread thereof. 13Jehovah of hostsH6635, him shall ye sanctifyH6942; and let him be your fearH4172, and let him be your dread. 14And he shall beH1961 for a sanctuaryH4720; but for a stoneH68 of stumbling and for a rockH6697 of offence to both the housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, for a gin and for a snareH4170 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. 15And manyH7227 shall stumbleH3782 thereon, and fallH5307, and be brokenH7665, and be snared, and be takenH3920.

16Bind thou up the testimonyH8584, sealH2856 the lawH8451 among my disciples.
