9. Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered;give ear, all you far countries;strap on your armor and be shattered;strap on your armor and be shattered.
10. Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;speak a word, but it will not stand,for God is with us.
11. For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
12. “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
13. But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
