Isaiah 8:14-15
Christian Standard Bible
14 He will be a sanctuary;(A)
but for the two houses of Israel,
he will be a stone(B) to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,(C)
and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Many will stumble over these;(D)
they will fall and be broken;
they will be snared and captured.
Daniel 2:34-35

The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled(E) the whole earth.
