Isaiah 8:10

Isaiah 8:10

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Take counsel together; literally, devise a device; i.e. form some plan, even the cleverest possible, against God's people, and the result will be utter failure. It shall not stand (comp. ).

For God is with us. In the Hebrew, ki 'immanu-El, "for with us (is) God" words declarative of the true meaning of the name which God had made a sign to his people (). It was his being "with them" that could alone save them from their enemies.
