7 I, the Lord, will bring the emperor of Assyria and all his forces to attack Judah. They will advance like the flood waters of the Euphrates River, overflowing all its banks.
8 They will sweep through Judah in a flood, rising shoulder high and covering everything.”God is with us! His outspread wings protect the land.
9 Gather together in fear, you nations! Listen, you distant parts of the earth. Get ready to fight, but be afraid! Yes, get ready, but be afraid!
10 Make your plans! But they will never succeed. Talk all you want to! But it is all useless, because God is with us.
11 With his great power the Lord warned me not to follow the road which the people were following. He said,
12 “Do not join in the schemes of the people and do not be afraid of the things that they fear.
13 Remember that I, the Lord Almighty, am holy; I am the one you must fear.
