Isaiah 8:16–18

Bind up the testimony; seal the teaching among my disciples. I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

Bind up this testimony of warning

and seal up God’s instruction among my disciples.

I will wait for the Lord,

who is hiding his face from the descendants of Jacob.

I will put my trust in him.

Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion.

Bind up the testimony.

Seal up the instruction among my disciples.

I will wait for the Lord,

who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob.

I will wait for him.

Here I am with the children the Lord has given me to be signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of Armies who dwells on Mount Zion.

Preserve the teaching of God;

entrust his instructions to those who follow me.

I will wait for the Lord,

who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob.

I will put my hope in him.

I and the children the Lord has given me serve as signs and warnings to Israel from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies who dwells in his Temple on Mount Zion.

Bind up the testimony;

seal the teaching among my disciples.

And I will wait for Yahweh,

who hides his face from the house of Jacob,

and I will await him.

Look! I and the children whom Yahweh has given to me are like signs and portents in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, the one who dwells on the mountain of Zion.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

And I will wait upon the Lord,

That hideth his face from the house of Jacob,

And I will look for him.

Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me

Are for signs and for wonders in Israel

From the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
