Yet the Word of Jehovah was to them, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and stumble, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
So, the Lord Jehovah says this: Behold, I place in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a founded Foundation; he who believes shall not hasten.
We grope for the wall like the blind ones, and we grope as if we had no eyes; we stumble at noonday as in the twilight, in desolate places like ones dying.
So Jehovah says this, Behold! I am giving stumbling blocks to this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble on them; a neighbor and his friend shall perish.
