11For thus the LORD spoke to me with strength of hand, and he disciplined me from walking in the way of this people, saying,12Do not call conspiracy everything that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear its fear, and do not tremble.13The LORD of Hosts himself you shall consecrate; he is your fear, and he is your trembling.14He will become a sanctuary and a stone of plague and a rock of stumbling for the two houses of Israel, a snare and a trap for the inhabitant of Jerusalem.15Many will stumble over them and fall and be broken and be snared and be captured.16Bind up the testimony; seal the instruction among my disciples.17I will wait for the LORD who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope for him.18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of Hosts who dwells on Mount Zion.19When they say to you, Seek the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, should not a people seek its God on behalf of the living rather than the dead?20To the instruction and to the testimony: if they do not speak according to this word that has no dawn,21He will pass through it hardened and hungry; when he becomes hungry he will be angry and curse his king and his God and turn upward.22He will look to the land, and behold, distress and darkness, gloom, anguish, and banished darkness.
