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.)
