Isaiah 8:7-10

8:7 So look, the sovereign master is bringing up against them the turbulent and mighty waters of the Euphrates River – the king of Assyria and all his majestic power. It will reach flood stage and overflow its banks. 8:8 It will spill into Judah, flooding and engulfing, as it reaches to the necks of its victims. He will spread his wings out over your entire land, O Immanuel.”

8:9 You will be broken, O nations;

you will be shattered!

Pay attention, all you distant lands of the earth!

Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!

8:10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted!

Issue your orders, but they will not be executed!

For God is with us!

they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain –

at the hill of Jerusalem.

10:33 Look, the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies,

is ready to cut off the branches with terrifying power.

The tallest trees will be cut down,

the loftiest ones will be brought low.

10:34 The thickets of the forest will be chopped down with an ax,

and mighty Lebanon will fall.

The people making such an uproar are as good as dead,

those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves.

by morning they vanish.

the destiny of those who try to loot us!

You will see Jerusalem,

a peaceful settlement,

a tent that stays put;

its stakes will never be pulled up;

none of its ropes will snap in two.

Give us strength each morning!

Deliver us when distress comes.
