Isaiah 8:12-17

12“You are not to say, ‘It is a 1conspiracy!’ Regarding everything that this people call a conspiracy, And 2you are not to fear 3what they fear or be in dread of it.13It is the 4Lord of armies 5whom you are to regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.14Then He will become a 6sanctuary; But to both houses of Israel, He will be a 7stone of stumbling and a rock 8of offense, And a snare and a 9trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.15Many 10will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will be snared and caught.”

16 11Bind up the testimony, 12seal the 13Law among 14my disciples. 17And I will 15wait for the Lord 16who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will wait eagerly for Him.
