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.
16Bind you up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
