Isaiah 8:11-22 - Wait For Yahweh
11 For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me like a firm grasp of the hand, - when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 Ye shall not say - A confederacy! of everything of which this people may say. A confederacy! And their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful: 13 Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow, - And let, him, be your fear, and let, him inspire you with awe; 14 So shall he become a hallowed asylum, - But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over unto both houses of Israel A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem; 15 And many, shall stumble among them, - and fall and be torn, and snared, and captured.
16 Bind thou up the testimony, - Seal the instruction amongst my disciples. 17 I will therefore long for Yahweh, Who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, - And will wait, for him.
18 Lo! I and the children whom Yahweh hath given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, - from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion. 19 But, when they say unto you - Seek ye unto the necromancers and unto the wizards, who chirp, and who mutter, Should not u people seek, unto its God? In behalf of the living, should it seek unto the dead? 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, It is , because they have no dawning day.
21 Therefore shall they pass through it hard pressed and hungry, - And it shall be when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god and turn their faces upwards; 22 And unto the land, shall they look hard, And lo! distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, driven away!
