11. For Yahweh spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12. “Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.
13. Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14. He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15. Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16. Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
17. I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18. Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
