Isaiah 8:9-22

9“1Be brokenH7489, O peoplesH5971, and be 23shatteredH2865; And giveH238 earH238, allH3605 remoteH4801 placesH4801 of the earthH776. GirdH247 yourselves, yet be 4shatteredH2865; GirdH247 yourselves, yet be 5shatteredH2865.106DeviseH5779 a planH6098, but it will be thwartedH6565; StateH1696 a 7proposalH1697, but 8it will not standH6965, For 910GodH410 is with us.”

11For thusH3541 the LordH3068 spokeH559 to me 11with 12mightyH2393 powerH3027 and instructedH3256 me 13not to walkH1980 in the wayH1870 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, sayingH559,12“You are not to sayH559, ‘It is a 14conspiracyH7195!’ In regard to allH3605 that thisH2088 peopleH5971 callH559 a conspiracyH7195, And 15you are not to fearH3372 16whatH4172 they fearH4172 or be in dreadH6206 of it.13It is the 17LordH3068 of hostsH6635 18whom you should regardH6942 as holyH6942. And He shall be your fearH4172, And He shall be your dreadH6206.14Then He shall becomeH1961 a 19sanctuaryH4720; But to bothH8147 the housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, a 20stoneH68 to strikeH5063 and a rockH6697 to stumbleH4383 over, And a snareH6341 and a 21trapH4170 for the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.15ManyH7227 22will stumbleH3782 over them, Then they will fallH5307 and be brokenH7665; They will even be snaredH3369 and caughtH3920.”

1623BindH6887 up the testimonyH8584, 24sealH2856 the 25lawH8451 among 26my disciplesH3928. 17And I will 27waitH2442 for the LordH3068 28who is hidingH5641 His faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290; I will even lookH6960 eagerlyH6960 for Him. 1829BeholdH2009, I and the childrenH3206 whomH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 me are for 30signsH226 and wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, who 31dwellsH7931 on MountH2022 ZionH6726.

19WhenH3588 they sayH559 to you, “32ConsultH1875 the mediumsH178 and the spiritistsH3049 who whisperH6850 and mutterH1897,” should not a peopleH5971 33consultH1875 their GodH430? Should they 34consult the deadH4191 on behalfH1157 of the livingH2416? 20To the 3536lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! IfH518 they do not speakH559 according to thisH2088 wordH1697, it is becauseH834 37they haveH369 noH369 dawnH7837. 21They will passH5674 through 38the land 39hard-pressedH7185 and famishedH7457, and it will turnH6437 out that whenH3588 they are hungryH7456, they will be enragedH7107 and curseH7043 40their kingH4428 and their GodH430 as they faceH6437 upwardH4605. 22Then they will 41lookH5027 to the earthH776, and beholdH2009, distressH6869 and darknessH2825, the gloomH4588 of anguishH6695; and they will be 42drivenH5080 awayH5080 into darknessH653.
