And God, the Holy One, will show Himself holy in righteousness [through His righteous judgments].

“Take counsel together [against Judah], but it will come to nothing;

Speak the word, but it will not stand,

For God is with us (Immanuel).”

For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given;

And the government shall be upon His shoulder,

And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

And their horses are flesh and not spirit;

And the LORD will stretch out His hand,

And he (Egypt) who helps will stumble,

And he (Judah) who is helped will fall,

That you may know and believe Me

And there will be none after Me.

For this is what the LORD says,

“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush (ancient Ethiopia)

And the Sabeans, men of stature,

Will come over to you and they will be yours;

They will walk behind you, in chains [of subjection to you] they will come over,

And they will bow down before you;

They will make supplication to you, [humbly and earnestly] saying,

[fn]‘Most certainly God is with you, and there is no other,

No other God [besides Him].’”

Come together, you survivors of the nations!

Who carry around their wooden idols [in religious processions or into battle]

And keep on praying to a god that cannot save them.

And weigh out silver on the scales

Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;

For I am God, and there is no one else;

Under every green and leafy tree,

Who slaughter the children [in sacrifice] in the ravines

Under the clefts of the rocks?
