¹⁴ And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;

³⁴ and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, `Lo, this `one' is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against --

³² wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

³³ according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

¹⁶ it `is' ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.

¹⁶ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone -- a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.

¹ To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.' -- A song. God `is' to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

² Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

⁵⁷ and they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, `A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house:'

¹⁰ A tower of strength `is' the name of Jehovah, Into it the righteous runneth, and is set on high.

²² Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence -- for a trap.

⁶ He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind `is' the portion of their cup.

³⁵ or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?

⁹ and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;

¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'

¹¹ I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation `is' to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;

³⁵ for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land,

²⁰ Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.

¹⁷ Fear, and a snare, and a gin, `Are' on thee, O inhabitant of the land.

¹⁸ And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.

⁶ And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
