10. “Take counsel, and it comes to naught; speak a word, and it does not stand, for Ěl is with us.”
11. For יהוה spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12. “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
13. “יהוה of hosts, Him you shall set apart. Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
14. “And He shall be for a set-apart place, but a stone of stumbling and a rock that makes for falling to both the houses of Yisra’ĕl, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim.
15. “And many among them shall stumble and fall, and be broken and snared and taken.”
16. Bind up the witness, seal the Torah among my taught ones.
17. And I shall wait on יהוה, who hides His face from the house of Ya‛aqoḇ. And I shall look for Him.
