Isaiah 8:14-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 He will be a sanctuary;(A)
but for the two houses of Israel,
He will be a stone(B) to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,(C)
and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Many will stumble over these;(D)
they will fall and be broken;
they will be snared and captured.
Daniel 2:34-35
Holman Christian Standard Bible
34 As you were watching, a stone broke off without a hand touching it,[a](A) struck the statue(B) on its feet of iron and fired clay, and crushed them.(C) 35 Then the iron, the fired clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were shattered and became like chaff(D) from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled(E) the whole earth.

It will crush all these kingdoms(B) and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever. 45 You saw a stone(C) break off from the mountain without a hand touching it,[a](D) and it crushed the iron, bronze, fired clay, silver, and gold. The great God has told the king what will happen in the future.[b](E) The dream is true, and its interpretation certain.”
