11 For the Lord spoke thus to me ^ewith his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and ^fdo not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a ^gsanctuary and ^ha ⁱstone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many shall ^jstumble on it. ^kThey shall ^lfall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”

16 Bind up the testimony; ^mseal the teaching¹ among my disciples. 17 I will wait for the Lord, who is ⁿhiding his face from the house of Jacob, and ^oI will hope in him.
