Isaiah 8:9-16

9Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces!

10Settle a plan, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand: for 1God is with us.

11For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

12Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread.

13Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

14And he will be for a sanctuary; and for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
