13“It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy.
         And He shall be your fear,
         And He shall be your dread.

14“Then He shall become a sanctuary;
         But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over,
         And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15“Many will stumble over them,
         Then they will fall and be broken;
         They will even be snared and caught.”

      16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 17And I will wait for the LORD who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him. 18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

      19When they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. 21They will pass through the land hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward. 22Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness.
