Isaiah 8:16

Wait For Yahweh

¹⁵
“Many [among them] will stumble over them;
Then they will fall and be broken,
They will even be snared and trapped.” ¹⁶ Bind up the testimony, seal the law and the teaching among my (Isaiah’s) disciples. ¹⁷ And I will wait for the Lord who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; and I will look eagerly for Him.
