boulder blocking the way

Isaiah 8:11-15
A Boulder Blocking Your Way

11 -15God spoke strongly to me, grabbed me with both hands and warned me not to go along with this people. He said:

"Don't be like this people,
always afraid somebody is plotting against them. Don't fear what they fear.
Don't take on their worries. If you're going to worry,
worry about The Holy. Fear God-of-the-Angel-Armies. The Holy can be either a Hiding Place
or a Boulder blocking your way, The Rock standing in the willful way
of both houses of Israel, A barbed-wire Fence preventing trespass
to the citizens of Jerusalem. Many of them are going to run into that Rock
and get their bones broken, Get tangled up in that barbed wire
and not get free of it."
