Isaiah 8:12-14

The Voice

¹² Eternal One: Don’t call for an alliance, like all the rest of this people do.
        Don’t fear what they fear, or dread what they dread.
¹³     After all, only the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, should terrify you.
        Only God is holy. Only God should leave you trembling.
¹⁴     Look what I’m going to do in Zion:
        The Eternal will be for you a sacred place,
    But for both houses of Israel I’ll also be a stone that blocks their way
        and a rock that trips them up;
    For those who live in Jerusalem, I’ll be a trap and a snare.
