Isaiah:8:11-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For so Jehovah spoke to me with a strong hand ,
and taught me against walking in the way of this people ,
saying ,
*
Do not say ,
A conspiracy ,
to everything of which this people says ,
A conspiracy !
And do not fear its fear ,
and do not dread .
*
Sanctify Jehovah of Hosts Himself ,
and let Him be your fear ;
and let Him be your dread .
*
And He shall be for a sanctuary ,
and for a stone of stumbling ,
and for a rock of falling to the two houses of Israel ;
for a trap and for a snare to the dweller 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 on Jehovah ,
who hides His face from the house of Jacob ;
and I will look for Him .
*
Behold ,
I and the children whom Jehovah has given to me are for signs and wonders in Israel from Jehovah of Hosts ,
who dwells in Mount Zion .
*
And when they say to you ,
Seek to the mediums ,
and to wizards who peep and mutter ;
should not a people seek to its God ,
than for the living to seek to the dead ?
*
To the law and to the testimony !
If they do not speak according to this word ,
it is because there is no dawn to them !
*
And they shall pass through it ,
hard pressed and hungry .
And it shall be ,
they shall be hungry ;
he will rave and curse his king and his God ,
and face upward .
*
And they shall look to the land .
And ,
behold ,
trouble and darkness and gloom of anguish ;
and they are driven to darkness .
