Isaiah 8:7-12
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
7therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks, 8and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, reaching even to the neck, and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel."
9Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; give ear, all you far countries; strap on your armor and be shattered; strap on your armor and be shattered.
10Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us.
11For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
12"Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
