Isaiah 8:11-18

New King James Version

¹² “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their ^[b]threats, nor be ^[c]troubled.
¹³ The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
^14 (A)He will be as a ^[d]sanctuary,
But ^(B)a stone of stumbling and a rock of ^[e]offense
To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
¹⁵ And many among them shall ^(C)stumble;
They shall fall and be broken,
Be snared and ^[f]taken.”

¹⁶ Bind up the testimony,
Seal the law among my disciples.
¹⁷ And I will wait on the Lord,
Who ^(D)hides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I ^(E)will hope in Him.
^18 (F)Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me!
We ^(G)are for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.
