Isaiah 8: 13 The LORD of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
Isaiah 8: 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.
Isaiah 8: 15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.'
Isaiah 8: 16 'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction among My disciples.'
