He will overflow and pass over,
(A)He will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will [a]fill the breadth of Your land, O (B)Immanuel.[b]

“Be(C) shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces!
Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
10 (D)Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
Speak the word, (E)but it will not stand,
(F)For [c]God is with us.”
