TSK · Isaiah 8:10

Laws Concerning War with Distant Enemies When you go to war against your enemies and see chariotry and troops who outnumber you, do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

Now David had been told,“Ahithophel has sided with the conspirators who are with Absalom. So David prayed,“Make the advice of Ahithophel foolish, O LORD.

When Ahithophel realized that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and returned to his house in his hometown. After setting his household in order, he hanged himself. So he died and was buried in the grave of his father.

Now look, God is with us as our leader. His priests are ready to blow the trumpets to signal the attack against you. You Israelites, don’t fight against the LORD God of your ancestors, for you will not win!”

He frustrates the plans of the crafty so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had planned!

For you make them retreat when you aim your arrows at them.

For the music director; by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song. God is our strong refuge; he is truly our helper in times of trouble.

Come! Witness the exploits of the LORD, who brings devastation to the earth!

They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish.

Syria has plotted with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah to bring about your demise.

For this reason the Lord himself will give you a confirming sign. Look, this young woman is about to conceive and will give birth to a son. You, young woman, will name him Immanuel.

For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us. He shoulders responsibility and is called: Amazing Adviser, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you– yes, I help you– yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand!

Denunciation and Destruction of Nineveh Whatever you plot against the LORD, he will completely destroy! Distress will not arise a second time.

“Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Emmanuel,” which means“God with us.”

So in this case I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, because if this plan or this undertaking originates with people, it will come to nothing,

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
