Isaiah8:12-16
12-16. The words of Jehovah.
confederacy--rather, a conspiracy; an appropriate term for the unnatural combination of Israel with Syrian foreigners against Judea and the theocracy, to which the former was bound by ties of blood and hereditary religion [Maurer].
to all ... say--rather, of all which this people calleth a conspiracy [G. V. Smith].
their fear--namely, object of fear: the hostile conspiracy.
be afraid--rather [Maurer], "nor make others to be afraid."
