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.
18Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.
19When they shall tell you, "Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:" shouldn`t a people consult with their God? on behalf of the living [should they consult] with the dead?
20To the law and to the testimony! if they don`t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
