14Then I will be a holy place of safety for you.

But for many people in Israel and Judah I will be

a stone that causes them to trip.

I will be a rock that makes them fall.

And for the people of Jerusalem I will be

a trap and a snare.

15Many of them will trip.

They will fall and be broken.

They will be trapped and captured.”

and they shall be ensnared and they shall be caught.”
