Isaiah 8:14-22

14Then He will becomeH1961 a 1sanctuaryH4720; But to bothH8147 housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, He will be a 2stoneH68 of stumblingH5063 and a rockH6697 3of offenseH4383, And a snareH6341 and a 4trapH4170 for the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.15ManyH7227 5will stumbleH3782 over them, Then they will fallH5307 and be brokenH7665; They will be snaredH3369 and caughtH3920.”

166BindH6887 upH6887 the testimonyH8584, 7sealH2856 the 8LawH8451 among 9my disciplesH3928. 17And I will 10waitH2442 for the LordH3068 11who is hidingH5641 His faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290; I will waitH6960 eagerlyH6960 for Him. 1812BeholdH2009, I and the childrenH3206 whomH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 me are for 13signsH226 and wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, who 14dwellsH7931 on MountH2022 ZionH6726.

19WhenH3588 they sayH559 to you, “15ConsultH1875 the mediumsH178 and the spiritistsH3049 who whisperH6850 and mutterH1897,” should a peopleH5971 not 16consultH1875 their GodH430? Should they 17consult the deadH4191 in behalfH1157 of the livingH2416? 20To the 1819LawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! IfH518 they do not speakH559 in accordance with thisH2088 wordH1697, it is becauseH834 20they haveH369 noH369 dawnH7837. 21They will passH5674 through 21the land 22dejectedH7185 and hungryH7457, and it will turnH1961 outH1961 that whenH3588 they are hungryH7456, they will becomeH7107 enragedH7107 and curseH7043 23their kingH4428 and their GodH430 as they faceH6437 upwardH4605. 22Then they will 24lookH5027 to the earthH776, and beholdH2009, distressH6869 and darknessH2825, the gloomH4588 of anguishH6695; and they will be 25drivenH5080 awayH5080 into darknessH653.
