Isaiah 8:8-10

The Voice

⁸    This Mesopotamian power will pour into Judah, rise and pass through,
        wreaking near-fatal havoc.
    And its reach will extend over all your land.

God, be with us.

⁹Go ahead, make your alliances, you peoples, yet you’ll be crushed.
    Listen closely, even if you’re far away:
Get ready for battle—get ready to be battered;
    get ready for battle—get ready to be shattered.
¹⁰Go ahead, devise your plans, but they will fail;
    your proclamations won’t matter because God is with us.
