Fear God, Not Man

Isaiah 8:11-15

For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:

“Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.

The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.

And He will be a sanctuary— but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.

Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”
