International Standard Version
Isaiah 8:8-10
International Standard Version
8 He will sweep on into Judah, overflowing as he passes through, like flood waters[a] reaching up to a person’s neck. His outstretched wings will flow as wide as your land, O Immanuel!”
9 “Band together,[b] you peoples,
but be shattered!
Listen, all you distant countries!
Strap on your armor,
but be shattered.[c]
10 Take counsel together,
but it will all be for nothing;
go ahead and talk,
but[d] it will all be for nothing,[e]
for God is with us.”[f]
