For thus the Lord spoke to me ^[m]with ^(u)mighty power and instructed me ^(v)not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

"You are not to say, ‘It is a ^(w)conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And ^(x)you are not to fear ^[n]what they fear or be in dread of it.

"It is the ^(y) Lord of hosts ^(z)whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.

"Then He shall become a ^(aa)sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a ^(ab)stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a ^(ac)trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
