Isaiah 8:11-18
A Call to Fear God

11 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,

11:

12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

12:

13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.

13:

14 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.

14:

15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

15:

16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

16:

17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

17:

18 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.

18:
