* For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand , and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people , saying , * Say ye not , A confederacy , to all them to whom this people shall say , A confederacy ; neither fear ye their fear , nor be afraid . * Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself ; and let him be your fear , and let him be your dread . * And he shall be for a sanctuary ; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel , for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem . * And many among them shall stumble , and fall , and be broken , and be snared , and be taken . * Bind up the testimony , seal the law among my disciples . * And I will wait upon the LORD , that hideth his face from the house of Jacob , and I will look for him . * Behold , I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts , which dwelleth in mount Zion . * And when they shall say unto you , Seek unto them that have familiar spirits , and unto wizards that peep , and that mutter : should not a people seek unto their God ? for the living to the dead ? * To the law and to the testimony : if they speak not according to this word , it is because there is no light in them . * And they shall pass through it , hardly bestead and hungry : and it shall come to pass , that when they shall be hungry , they shall fret themselves , and curse their king and their God , and look upward . * And they shall look unto the earth ; and behold trouble and darkness , dimness of anguish ; and they shall be driven to darkness .
