Yeshayah 8:14-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. And He shall be for a Mikdash; but for an Even Negef (Stone of Stumbling) and for a Tzur Michshol to both the Batei Yisroel, for a pach (snare) and for a mokesh (trap) to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim.

15. And rabbim (many) among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

16. Bind up [to preserve for the future] the te'udah (testimony, i.e. prophetic record such as chapter 6), chatom (seal up) the torah (teaching) among my disciples.

17. And I will wait for Hashem, that hideth His face from the Bais Ya'akov, and I will look [in hope] for Him.

18. Hinei, I and the yeladim whom Hashem hath given me are for otot and for mofetim [see Zecharyah 3:8] in Yisroel from Hashem Tzva'os, which dwelleth in Mt Tziyon.
