Isaiah 8:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 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)
9 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)
