Isaiah 8:8-10
Contemporary English Version

8 Enemy soldiers will cover Judah like a flood reaching up to your neck.

But God is with us.[a]
He will spread his wings
    and protect our land.[b]
9 All of you foreign nations,
go ahead and prepare for war,
    but you will be crushed.
10 Get together and make plans,
but you will fail
    because God is with us.
