Isaiah 8:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Form a plan, it shall be thwarted;
make a resolve, it shall not be carried out,
for “With us is God!”[a](A)
Disciples of Isaiah. 11 For thus said the Lord—his hand strong upon me—warning me not to walk in the way of this people:
12 [b]Do not call conspiracy what this people calls conspiracy,
nor fear what they fear, nor feel dread.
Footnotes
- 8:10 The plan of Israel’s enemies will be thwarted because, as the name “Emmanuel” signifies, “with us is God.”
- 8:12–14 Because Isaiah and his followers resisted the official policy of seeking help from Assyria they were labeled “conspirators”; Isaiah uses the term to express what is really the case, cooperating with the Lord.
