Isaiah 8:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ Instead, you should understand that the Lord Almighty has all authority. You should respect him as holy and be afraid of him.

¹⁴ He will be a safe place for you. But for both nations in Israel he will become like a stone that causes people to fall to the ground.^[a] He will be like a rock that makes them fall down. He will take hold of the people who live in Jerusalem, like a trap that catches a bird. ¹⁵ Many people will fall against that rock. They will fall to the ground and it will hurt them. They will become caught in a trap.’
