[is] marvellous in our eyes.

Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which
be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is
made the head of the corner,

Targum Isaiah on
Isaiah 8:13-15 says, " the Lord of hosts, him shall ye call holy;
and let him be your fear and let him be your strength. And if ye will
not hearken, his Memra shall be amoungst you for vengeance and for a
stone of smiting, and for a rock of offence to the two house of the
princes of Israel, for breaking, and for a stumbling, because the house
of Israel hath been separated from them of the house of Judah who dwell
in Jerusalem. And many shall stumble against them, and shall fall, and
be broken and be snared, and be taken."
