Isaiah 8:14 in Context — Isaiah 8

12 N’appelez pas conjuration tout ce que ce peuple appelle conjuration; Ne craignez pas ce qu’il craint, et ne soyez pas effrayés.

13 C’est l’Éternel des armées que vous devez sanctifier, C’est lui que vous devez craindre et redouter.

14 Et il sera un sanctuaire, Mais aussi une pierre d’achoppement, Un rocher de scandale pour les deux maisons d’Israël, Un filet et un piège Pour les habitants de Jérusalem.

15 Plusieurs trébucheront; Ils tomberont et se briseront, Ils seront enlacés et pris.

16 Enveloppe cet oracle, Scelle cette révélation, parmi mes disciples.
