8 And he shall pass through Judah, he shall overflow and go over,he shall reach even to the neck,and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your land,O Immanuel.
9 Be broken, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces.And give ear, all you from far countries.Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, but it shall come to nothing;speak the word, but it shall not standfor God is with us.
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 You should not say, “It is a conspiracy,”concerning all that this people calls a conspiracy,neither fear their threatsnor be afraid of them.
13 Sanctify the Lord of Hosts Himself,and let Him be your fear,and let Him be your dread.
14 He shall become a sanctuary,but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offenseto both the houses of Israel,and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
