In context

11Thus saith the Lord, With a strong hand they revolt from the course of the way of this people, saying,

12Let them not say, It is hard, for whatsoever this people says, is hard: but fear not ye their fear, neither be dismayed.

— Isaiah 8:13 —

14And if thou shalt trust in him, he shall be to thee for a sanctuary; and ye shall not come against him as against a stumbling stone, neither as against the falling of a rock: but the houses of Jacob are in a snare, and the dwellers in Jerusalem in a pit.

15Therefore many among them shall be weak, and fall, and be crushed; and they shall draw nigh, and men shall be taken securely.
