14 And he was for a holy place and for a stone of striking, and for a rock of falling to the two houses of Israel; for a trap net and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many fainted among them and fell, and were broken, and snared, and taken. 16 Bind up the oracle, seal up the law among the disciples. 17 And I waited for Jehovah in his hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I trusted to him. 18 Behold me and the children which Jehovah gave to me for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of armies dwelling in mount Zion. 19 And when they shall say to you, Seek ye to necromancers and to wizards peeping and panting: shall not a people seek their God among the living for the dead? 20 To the law and to the testimony if they will not speak according to this word, because no morning is in them. 21 And passing through it, harshly oppressed and hungry; and it was when he shall be hungry, and they brake forth and cursed against their king and their God, and looked upwards. 22 And they shall look to the earth, and behold, straits and darkness and fainting of distress; and to darkness being removed.
