NET Bible
"“Do not say,‘Conspiracy,’ every time these people say the word. Don’t be afraid of what scares them; don’t be terrified."
— Isaiah 8:12, NET Bible
“Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.”
“Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread thereof. ”
“"Don't say, 'A conspiracy!' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy!' neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.”
“Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.”
“Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.”
“Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.”
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! Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!
Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted! Issue your orders, but they will not be executed! For God is with us!
The Lord Encourages Isaiah Indeed this is what the LORD told me quite forcefully. He warned me not to act like these people:
“Do not say,‘Conspiracy,’ every time these people say the word. Don’t be afraid of what scares them; don’t be terrified.
You must recognize the authority of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. He is the one you must respect; he is the one you must fear.
He will become a sanctuary, but a stone that makes a person trip, and a rock that makes one stumble– to the two houses of Israel. He will become a trap and a snare to the residents of Jerusalem.
Many will stumble over the stone and the rock, and will fall and be seriously injured, and will be ensnared and captured.”
