It will pour into Judah,
flood over it, and sweep through,
reaching up to the neck;(A)
and its spreading streams[a]
will fill your entire land, Immanuel!(B)

Band together, 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.(C)
Make a prediction; it will not happen.
For God is with us.[b](D)

  1. Isaiah 8:8 Or wings
  2. Isaiah 8:10 Or For Immanuel

And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

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.

10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
