If you will respect the Lord and consider him holy, then he will be a safe place for you. But you don’t respect him. So God is like a rock that you people fall over. He is a rock that makes the two families of Israel stumble. The Lord is a trap to catch all the people of Jerusalem.

Jesus said to the people, “Other people give honor to a prophet. {\cf2\super [63]} But in his own town with his own people and in his own home, a prophet does not get honor.”
