Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.

Speak the word, bbut it will not stand,
cFor1 God is with us.”
Speak the word, bbut it will not stand,
cFor1 God is with us.”
Fear God, Heed His Word
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with1 a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their1 threats, nor be troubled.
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their1 threats, nor be troubled.
14 aHe will be as a1 sanctuary,
But ba stone of stumbling and a rock of1 offense
To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
But ba stone of stumbling and a rock of1 offense
To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
18 aHere am I and the children whom the Lord has given me!
We bare for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.
We bare for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.
19 And when they say to you, a“Seek those who are mediums and wizards, bwho whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they cseek the dead on behalf of the living?
20 aTo the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because bthere is no light in them.
21 They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and acurse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.
