10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand, for God is with us.
11 For the Lord 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 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.
16 Bind up the testimony; seal the law among my disciples.
