John Gill Commentary Isaiah 8:15

"And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken." — Isaiah 8:15 (ASV)

And many among them

Not all, though the greater part; for Christ was set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, (Luke 2:34) :

shall stumble, and fall, and be broken :

stumble at Christ, the stumbling stone; fall by unbelief into other sins and punishment, and be broken in pieces by this stone, (Matthew 21:44) :

and be snared, and be taken ;

and so die in their sins, and perish eternally. The allusion is to birds being taken in a snare or trap, or with bird lime, and therein or thereby held and detained.
