13 It is the (A)Lord of armies (B)whom you are to regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your dread.
14 Then He will become a (C)sanctuary;
But to both houses of Israel, He will be a (D)stone of stumbling and a rock [a]of offense,
And a snare and a (E)trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Many (F)will stumble over them,
Then they will fall and be broken;
They will be snared and caught.”

16 (G)Bind up the testimony, (H)seal the [b]Law among (I)my disciples. 17 And I will (J)wait for the Lord (K)who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will wait eagerly for Him. 18 (L)Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for (M)signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, who (N)dwells on Mount Zion.
