Yahweh, a Sanctuary and a Stumbling Stone

And give ear, all remote places of the earth.

Gird yourselves, yet be 2shattered;

Gird yourselves, yet be 3shattered.

10“aDevise counsel, but it will be thwarted;

Speak a word, but bit will not stand,

For 1cGod is with us.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Be 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.

Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;

speak a word, but it will not stand,

for God is with us.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Raise the war cry, you nations, and be shattered!

Listen, all you distant lands.

Prepare for battle, and be shattered!

Prepare for battle, and be shattered!

Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted;

propose your plan, but it will not stand,

for God is with us.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Band together, peoples, and be broken;

pay attention, all you distant lands;

prepare for war, and be broken;

prepare for war, and be broken.

Devise a plan; it will fail.

Make a prediction; it will not happen.

For God is with us.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Huddle together, you nations, and be terrified.

Listen, all you distant lands.

Prepare for battle, but you will be crushed!

Yes, prepare for battle, but you will be crushed!

Call your councils of war, but they will be worthless.

Develop your strategies, but they will not succeed.

For God is with us!”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed.

And listen, all distant parts of the earth;

gird yourselves and be dismayed;

gird yourselves and be dismayed!

Make a plan, but it will be frustrated!

Speak a word, but it will not stand,

for God is with us!

KJV 1900King James Version

Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces;

And give ear, all ye of far countries:

Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces;

Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;

Speak the word, and it shall not stand:

For God is with us.
