Context Readings

Wait For Yahweh

12 Do not say that everything these people call a conspiracy is a conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear. Do not let it terrify you! 13 “It is the Lord of hosts whom you should regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your dread.
14 He will be a place of safety for you. But he will be a rock that makes people trip and a stumbling block for both kingdoms of Israel. He will be a trap and a snare for those who live in Jerusalem.
