12. Do not say, A confederacy, to all those to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear their fear, nor be afraid.
13. Sanctify the Lord of the hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14. Then he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to cause a fall to both the houses of Israel, for a snare and for a net to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15. And many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken and be snared and be taken.
