Isaiah 8:13
Verse 13 of 22. The 8th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.
9Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”
11For the LORD spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12“Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.
13The LORD of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.
15Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples.
17I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
