9Make an uproar, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces! Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces!
10Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11For Yahweh spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12Don`t you say, "A conspiracy!" concerning all whereof this people shall say, "A conspiracy!" neither fear you their fear, nor be in dread [of it].
13Yahweh of hosts, him shall you sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15Many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
