The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 8:12-18

  1. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

  2. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

  3. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

  4. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

  5. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

  6. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

  7. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
