Isaiah 8:8-14 English Revised Version (ERV)

8. and he shall sweep onward into Judah; he shall overflow and pass through; he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

9. Make an uproar; O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

10. Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

11. For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

12. Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread thereof.

13. The LORD of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

14. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
