13 But remember that the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] is holy.
    He is ·the one you should [L your] fear;
    he is ·the one you should [L your] dread.
14 Then he will be a ·place of safety for you [sanctuary; holy place; or snare].
    ·But [or And] for the two ·families [houses] of Israel [C Israel and Judah],
he will be like a stone that causes people to stumble,
    like a rock that makes them fall [Rom. 9:33; 1 Pet. 2:6–8].
He will be like a trap for the ·people [inhabitants] of Jerusalem,
    and he will catch them in his ·trap [snare].
15 Many people will ·fall over this rock [L stumble over them].
    They will fall and be broken;
    they will be ·trapped [snared] and caught.”

13 It is the (A)Lord of armies (B)whom you are to regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your dread.
14 Then He will become a (C)sanctuary;
But to both houses of Israel, He will be a (D)stone of stumbling and a rock [a]of offense,
And a snare and a (E)trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Many (F)will stumble over them,
Then they will fall and be broken;
They will be snared and caught.”
