For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.

If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name, says the Lord Almighty, then I will send forth the curse upon you, and I will bring a curse upon your blessing: yes, I will curse it, and I will scatter your blessing, and it shall not exist among you, because you take this not to heart.

And if you shall trust in Him, He shall be to you for a sanctuary; and you 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 those who dwell in Jerusalem are in a pit.

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

and "a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
