Isaias

10 Take counsel, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.

11 For the LORD spake thus to me with strength. of hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

12 Say ye not, A conspiracy, of all whereof this people saith, A conspiracy 3 and fear not the fear of it, nor be afraid:

13 The LORD of Hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

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 and for. a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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

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

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

18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
