Isaiah 8:14-18 BBE
And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken. (15) And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net. (16) Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only. (17) And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him. (18) See, I and the children whom the Lord (יהוה) has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.

(16) Bind up the Testimony, seal the Law among My disciples.
(17) And I will wait on Jehovah (יהוה), who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for Him.

Isaiah 8:14-18 GW
He will be a place of safety for you. But he will be a rock that makes people trip and a stumbling block for both kingdoms of Israel. He will be a trap and a snare for those who live in Jerusalem. (15) Many will stumble. They will fall and be broken. They will be trapped and caught. (16) Tie up the written instructions. Seal the teachings among my disciples. (17) I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the descendants of Jacob. I will hope in him. (18) I am here with the children that the LORD (יהוה) has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD (יהוה) of Armies, who lives on Mount Zion.
