And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

The verse 14 is found in chapter 8 of Isaiah. Isaiah is commanded not to follow the path of a people dominated by fear. Yahweh must be recognized as holy and as the true object of fear. The section contrasts trusting God with consulting occult sources and ends by describing the darkness of those who reject divine instruction.

so wird er ein Heiligtum sein, aber ein Stein des Anstoßes und ein Fels des Ärgernisses den beiden Häusern Israel, zum Strick und Fall den Bürgern zu Jerusalem,
Entonces él será por santuario; mas a las dos casas de Israel por piedra para tropezar, y por tropezadero para caer, y por lazo y por red al morador de Jerusalem.
Él será un santuario, pero también piedra de tropiezo y roca de caída para las dos casas de Israel, trampa y lazo para los habitantes de Jerusalén.
Et il sera un sanctuaire, Mais aussi une pierre d'achoppement, Un rocher de scandale pour les deux maisons d'Israël, Un filet et un piège Pour les habitants de Jérusalem.
Ed egli sarà per santuario; ma altresì per pietra d’intoppo, e per sasso d’incappamento alle due case d’Israele; per laccio, e per rete agli abitanti di Gerusalemme.
Então ele vos será por santuário; mas servirá de pedra de tropeço, e rocha de escândalo, às duas casas de Israel; por armadilha e laço aos moradores de Jerusalém.
他必作為聖所,卻向 以色列 的兩家成為絆腳的石頭,使人跌倒的磐石;作 耶路撒冷 居民的羅網和圈套。
