12`Ye do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people saith, A confederacy, And its fear ye do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
13Jehovah of Hosts -- Him ye do sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
14And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
16Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among My disciples.
17And I have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.
18Lo, I, and the children whom Jehovah hath given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From Jehovah of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.
