Isaiah 8:11-15
New King James Version
Isaiah 8:11-15
New King James Version
Fear God, Heed His Word
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with [a]a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
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.”

11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me,(A) warning me not to follow(B) the way of this people:
12 “Do not call conspiracy(C)
everything this people calls a conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,(D)
and do not dread it.(E)

he is the one you are to fear,(G)
he is the one you are to dread.(H)
14 He will be a holy place;(I)
for both Israel and Judah he will be
a stone(J) that causes people to stumble(K)
and a rock that makes them fall.(L)
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be
a trap and a snare.(M)
15 Many of them will stumble;(N)
they will fall and be broken,
