11. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

13. The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
