Isaiah 8:9-13

“Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; And listen, all remote places of the earth. Get ready, yet be shattered; Get ready, yet be shattered.

“Devise a plan, but it will fail; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us.”

For so the Lord spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

“You are not to say, ‘It is a conspiracy!’ Regarding everything that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.

“It is the Lord of armies whom you are to regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.
