Isaiah 8:11-18
Legacy Standard Bible
11 For thus Yahweh spoke to me with a (A)strong hand and disciplined me (B)not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “You are not to say, ‘It is a (C)conspiracy!’
In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy;
And (D)you are not to fear [a]what they fear, and you shall not tremble.
13 It is (E)Yahweh of hosts (F)whom you should regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your cause of trembling.
14 Then He shall become a (G)sanctuary;
But to both the houses of Israel, a (H)stone to strike and a rock to stumble over,
And a snare and a (I)trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many (J)will stumble over them;
Then they will fall and be broken;
They will even be snared and caught.”
16 (K)Bind up the testimony, (L)seal the [b]law among (M)my disciples. 17 And I will (N)wait for Yahweh (O)who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; and I will hope for Him. 18 (P)Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for (Q)signs and wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who (R)dwells on Mount Zion.

11 The Lord spoke thus to me while his hand was strong upon me and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:(A) 12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what it fears or be in dread.(B) 13 But the Lord of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.(C) 14 He will become a sanctuary, a stone one strikes against; for both houses of Israel he will become a rock one stumbles over, a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.(D) 15 And many among them shall stumble; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”(E)
