9 Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed. And listen, all distant parts of the earth; gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed!
10 Make a plan, but it will be frustrated! Speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us!
11 For Yahweh said this to me while his hand weighed heavily on me, and he warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “You must not call conspiracy everything that this people calls conspiracy, and you must not share its fear, and you must not be in dread.
13 You shall regard Yahweh of hosts as holy, and he is your fear, and he is your dread.
14 And he will become like a sanctuary and a stumbling-stone, and like a stumbling-rock for the two houses of Israel, like a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many shall stumble among them, and they shall fall and they shall be broken, and they shall be ensnared and they shall be caught.”
