Isaiah 8:15-18

15Many people will fall against that rock. They will fall to the ground and it will hurt them. They will become caught in a trap.’

16Tie a string round the paper where I have written this. Keep it safe as a true message. Give it to my disciples, to teach them.

17I will wait for the Lord to do what he says. He has turned away from the descendants of Jacob. But I will trust him to do what is right.

18Look! Here I am, with the children that the Lord has given to me. We are messages from the Lord Almighty who lives on Mount Zion. We are messages to Israel's people.
