10. Devise a plan; it will fail. Make a prediction; it will not happen.For God is with us.
11. For this is what the Lord said to me with great power, to keep me from going the way of this people:
12. Do not call everything an alliancethese people say is an alliance. Do not fear what they fear; do not be terrified.
13. You are to regard only the Lord of Hosts as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be held in awe.
14. He will be a sanctuary; but for the two houses of Israel,He will be a stone to stumble overand a rock to trip over, and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15. Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken;they will be snared and captured.
16. Bind up the testimony. Seal up the instruction among my disciples.
