8 He will1 pass through Judah,
He will overflow and pass over,
aHe will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will fill the breadth of Your land, O bImmanuel.
He will overflow and pass over,
aHe will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will fill the breadth of Your land, O bImmanuel.
9 “Bea 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.
Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
10 aTake counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
Speak the word, bbut it will not stand,
cFor1 God is with us.”
Speak the word, bbut it will not stand,
cFor1 God is with us.”
Fear God, Heed His Word
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with1 a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their1 threats, nor be troubled.
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their1 threats, nor be troubled.
