web Isaiah:8:11-22
web@Isaiah:8:11 @ For Yahweh spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
web@Isaiah:8:12 @ "Don't say, 'A conspiracy!' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy!' neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.
web@Isaiah:8:13 @ Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
web@Isaiah:8:14 @ He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
web@Isaiah:8:15 @ Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
web@Isaiah:8:16 @ Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
web@Isaiah:8:17 @ I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
web@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
web@Isaiah:8:19 @ When they tell you, "Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:" shouldn't a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
web@Isaiah:8:20 @ Turn to the law and to the testimony! If they don't speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
web@Isaiah:8:21 @ They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
web@Isaiah:8:22 @ and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
