Fear God, Not Man

Isaiah 8:11-15

For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.

The LORD of Hosts is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.

He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
