Yesaya 8:7-10

8:7 So look, the sovereign master¹ is bringing up against them the turbulent and mighty waters of the Euphrates River² – the king of Assyria and all his majestic power. It will reach flood stage and overflow its banks.³ 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,⁴ O Immanuel.”⁵

8:9 You will be broken,⁶ O nations;

you will be shattered!⁷

Pay attention, all you distant lands of the earth!

Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!

Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!⁸

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

Issue your orders, but they will not be executed!⁹

For God is with us!¹⁰

Yesaya 10:32-34

10:32 This very day, standing in Nob,

they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain¹¹ –

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.¹²

The tallest trees¹³ 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.¹⁴

Yesaya 17:12

17:12 The many nations massing together are as good as dead,¹⁵

those who make a commotion as loud as the roaring of the sea’s waves.¹⁶

The people making such an uproar are as good as dead,¹⁷

those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves.¹⁸

Yesaya 17:14

17:14 In the evening there is sudden terror;¹⁹

by morning they vanish.²⁰

This is the fate of those who try to plunder us,

the destiny of those who try to loot us!²¹

Yesaya 33:20

33:20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!

You²² will see Jerusalem,²³

a peaceful settlement,

a tent that stays put;²⁴

its stakes will never be pulled up;

none of its ropes will snap in two.

Yesaya 33:2

33:2 Lord, be merciful to us! We wait for you.

Give us strength each morning!²⁵

Deliver us when distress comes.²⁶
