8 And he will pass through Judah, inundating it, and he will cross over and arrive, even at its neck. And he will extend his wings, filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel."
9 O people, gather together, and be conquered! All distant lands, listen! Be strengthened, and be conquered! Gird yourselves, and be conquered!
10 Undertake a plan, and it will be dissipated! Speak a word, and it will not be done! For God is with us.
11 For the Lord said this to me, and he has instructed this to me with a strong hand, lest I go forth in the way of this people, saying:
12 "You should not say 'It is conspiracy!' For all that this people speaks is a conspiracy. And you should be frightened or alarmed with their fear.
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself. Let him be your dread, and let him be your fear.
14 And so shall he be a sanctification to you. But he will be a stone of offense and a rock of scandal to the two houses of Israel, and a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
