Isaiah 8:9–13

9 Band together,G peoples, and be broken;

pay attention, all you distant lands;

prepare for war, and be broken;

prepare for war, and be broken.

10 Devise a plan; it will fail.h

Make a prediction; it will not happen.

For God is with us.H,i

THE LORD OF ARMIES, THE ONLY REFUGE

11 For this is what the Lord said to me with great power, to keepI me from going the way of this people:j

12 Do not call everything a conspiracy

that these people say is a conspiracy.k

Do not fear what they fear;l

do not be terrified.

13 You are to regard only the Lord of Armies as holy.m

Only he should be feared;n

only he should be held in awe.
