Isaiah 8:9-22

9Make an uproar; O ye peoplesH5971, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and giveH238 earH238, allH3605 ye of farH4801 countriesH776: girdH247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces: girdH247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10TakeH5779 counselH6098 togetherH5973, and it shall be broughtH6965 to nought; speakH1696 the wordH1697, and it shall notH3808 standH6965: for GodH410 is with usH3588. 11For the LORDH3068 spake thusH3541 to meH413 with a strongH2393 handH3027, and instructedH559 meH413 that I should notH2088 walkH1870 in the wayH1870 of this peopleH5971, sayingH559, 12SayH559 ye notH3808, A conspiracyH7195, concerning allH3605 whereof this peopleH5971 shall sayH559, A conspiracyH7195; neitherH3808 fearH3372 ye their fearH3372, norH3808 be in dreadH6206 thereof. 13The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, him shall ye sanctifyH6942; and let him be your fearH4172, and let him be your dreadH6206. 14And he shall be for a sanctuaryH4720; but for a stoneH68 of stumblingH4383 and for a rockH6697 of offence to bothH8147 the housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, for a gin and for a snareH4170 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. 15And manyH7227 shall stumbleH3782 thereon, and fallH5307, and be brokenH7665, and be snaredH3369, and be takenH3920. 16Bind thou upH2856 the testimonyH8584, sealH2856 the lawH8451 among my disciplesH3928. 17And I will waitH2442 for the LORDH3068, that hideth his faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and I will lookH6960 for him. 18BeholdH2009, I and the childrenH3206 whomH834 the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 meH5414 are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, whichH834 dwelleth in mountH2022 ZionH6726. 19And when they shall sayH559 unto youH3588, SeekH1875 unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutterH1897: should notH3808 a peopleH5971 seekH1875 unto their GodH430? on behalfH1157 of the livingH2416 should they seekH1875 unto the deadH4191? 20To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584! ifH518 they speakH559 notH3808 according to this wordH1697, surelyH518 there is noH3808 morningH7837 for them. 21And they shall passH5674 throughH5674 it, hardly bestead and hungryH7457: and it shall comeH1961 to passH5674 that, when they shall be hungryH7457, they shall fret themselves, and curseH7043 by their kingH4428 and by their GodH430, and turnH6437 their facesH6437 upwardH4605. 22and they shall lookH2009 unto the earthH776, and beholdH2009, distressH6869 and darknessH2825, the gloomH653 of anguishH6869; and intoH413 thickH653 darknessH2825 they shall be drivenH5080 awayH5080.
