Context of Isaiah 8:10
8It will pour into Judah, flood over it, and sweep through, reaching up to the neck; and its flooded banks will fill your entire land, Immanuel! 9Band together, peoples, and be broken; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for war, and be broken; prepare for war, and be broken. Devise a plan; it will fail. Make a prediction; it will not happen. For God is with us. 11For this is what the Lord said to me with great power, to keep me from going the way of this people: 12Do not call everything a conspiracy that these people say is a conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not be terrified.
