and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God.

και λιθος προσκομματος και πετρα σκανδαλου· οιτινες προσκοπτουσιν εις τον λογον, οντες απειθεις, εις το οποιον και ησαν προσδιωρισμενοι·

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
