• 2 Chronicles 36:15, 16
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 15 Jehovah the God of their forefathers kept warning them by means of his messengers, warning them again and again, because he felt compassion for his people and for his dwelling place. 16 But they kept ridiculing the messengers of the true God,+ and they despised his words+ and mocked his prophets,+ until the rage of Jehovah came up against his people,+ until they were beyond healing.

  • Isaiah 8:14, 15
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 14 He will become as a sanctuary,

      But as a stone to strike against

      And as a rock to stumble over+

      To both houses of Israel,

      As a trap and a snare

      To the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

      15 Many of them will stumble and fall and be broken;

      They will be ensnared and caught.
