Isaiah 8:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ The Lord All-Powerful is the one you should fear. He is the one you should respect.^[a] He is the one who should frighten you. ¹⁴ If you people would respect him, he would be a safe place^[b] for you. But you don’t respect him, so he is like a stone that you stumble over. He is a rock that makes both families of Israel fall. He has become a trap that all the people of Jerusalem will fall into. ¹⁵ (Many people will trip over this rock. They will fall and be broken. They will be caught in the trap.)
