Isaiah 8 — Context

For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,

Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.

But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.

And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.

And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.

Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only.

And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.
