Isaiah 8:14

WEB

He 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.

Context

11For Yahweh spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

12“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.

13Yahweh 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 Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
