Isaiah 8:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ But remember that the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] is holy.
    He is ·the one you should [^Lyour] fear;
    he is ·the one you should [^Lyour] dread.
¹⁴ Then he will be a ·place of safety for you [sanctuary; holy place; or snare].
    ·But [or And] for the two ·families [houses] of Israel [^CIsrael and Judah],
he will be like a stone that causes people to stumble,
    like a rock that makes them fall [Rom. 9:33; 1 Pet. 2:6–8].
He will be like a trap for the ·people [inhabitants] of Jerusalem,
    and he will catch them in his ·trap [snare].
¹⁵ Many people will ·fall over this rock [^Lstumble over them].
    They will fall and be broken;
    they will be ·trapped [snared] and caught.”
