Isaiah 8:11-20
11For soH3541 the LordH3068 spokeH559 to me 1with 2mightyH2393 powerH3027 and instructedH3256 me 3not to walkH1980 in the wayH1870 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, sayingH559,12“You are not to sayH559, ‘It is a 4conspiracyH7195!’ Regarding everythingH3605 that thisH2088 peopleH5971 callH559 a conspiracyH7195, And 5you are not to fearH3372 6whatH4172 they fearH4172 or beH6206 inH6206 dreadH6206 of it.13It is the 7LordH3068 of armiesH6635 8whom you are to regardH6942 asH6942 holyH6942. And He shall be your fearH4172, And He shall beH6206 your dreadH6206.14Then He will becomeH1961 a 9sanctuaryH4720; But to bothH8147 housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, He will be a 10stoneH68 of stumblingH5063 and a rockH6697 11of offenseH4383, And a snareH6341 and a 12trapH4170 for the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.15ManyH7227 13will stumbleH3782 over them, Then they will fallH5307 and be brokenH7665; They will be snaredH3369 and caughtH3920.”
1614BindH6887 upH6887 the testimonyH8584, 15sealH2856 the 16LawH8451 among 17my disciplesH3928. 17And I will 18waitH2442 for the LordH3068 19who is hidingH5641 His faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290; I will waitH6960 eagerlyH6960 for Him. 1820BeholdH2009, I and the childrenH3206 whomH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 me are for 21signsH226 and wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, who 22dwellsH7931 on MountH2022 ZionH6726.
19WhenH3588 they sayH559 to you, “23ConsultH1875 the mediumsH178 and the spiritistsH3049 who whisperH6850 and mutterH1897,” should a peopleH5971 not 24consultH1875 their GodH430? Should they 25consult the deadH4191 in behalfH1157 of the livingH2416? 20To the 2627LawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! IfH518 they do not speakH559 in accordance with thisH2088 wordH1697, it is becauseH834 28they haveH369 noH369 dawnH7837.
