Isaiah 8:13–17

13 You are to regard only the Lord of Armies as holy.m

Only he should be feared;n

only he should be held in awe.

14 He will be a sanctuary;o

but for the two houses of Israel,

he will be a stonep to stumble over

and a rock to trip over,q

and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15 Many will stumble over these;r

they will fall and be broken;

they will be snared and captured.

16 Bind up the testimony.s

Seal up the instructiont among my disciples.

17 I will wait for the Lord,u

who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob.v

I will wait for him.
