Isaiah 8:11-17

11For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,1 12Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be ensnared, and be taken.

16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 17And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
