10. Form a plan, it shall be thwarted;make a resolve, it shall not be carried out,for “With us is God!”
11. For thus said the Lord—his hand strong upon me—warning me not to walk in the way of this people:
12. Do not call conspiracy what this people calls conspiracy,nor fear what they fear, nor feel dread.
13. But conspire with the Lord of hosts;he shall be your fear, he shall be your dread.
14. He shall be a snare,a stone for injury,A rock for stumblingto both the houses of Israel,A trap and a snareto those who dwell in Jerusalem;
15. And many among them shall stumble;fallen and broken;snared and captured.
