9. Band together, peoples, and be broken;pay attention, all you distant lands;prepare for war, and be broken;prepare for war, and be broken.
10. Devise a plan; it will fail. Make a prediction; it will not happen.For God is with us.

12. Do not call everything an alliancethese people say is an alliance. Do not fear what they fear; do not be terrified.
