12 “You are not to say, ‘It is a (A)conspiracy!’
Regarding everything that this people call a conspiracy,
And (B)you are not to fear [a]what they fear or be in dread of it.
13 It is the (C)Lord of armies (D)whom you are to regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your dread.
14 Then He will become a (E)sanctuary;
But to both houses of Israel, He will be a (F)stone of stumbling and a rock [b]of offense,
And a snare and a (G)trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
