Context Readings

Wait For Yahweh

12 "Round with none of them, whosoever say, 'Yonder people are bound together.' Nevertheless fear them not, neither be afraid of them, 13 but sanctify the LORD of Hosts: let him be your fear and dread. 14 For he is the sanctifying, and stone to stumble at, the rock to fall upon, a snare and net to both the houses: to Israel, and the inhabiters of Jerusalem.
