1 ^bWhy do ^cthe nations rage ^{▼▼Or nations noisily assemble}
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his ^eAnointed, saying,
3 “Let us ^fburst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who ^gsits in the heavens ^hlaughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his ⁱwrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have ^jset my King
on ^kZion, my ^lholy hill.”

Isaiah 19:11-13

11 The princes of ^mZoan are utterly foolish;
the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings”?
12 Where then are your ⁿwise men?
Let them tell you
that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes of ^oZoan have become fools,
and the princes of ^pMemphis are deluded;
those who are the ^qcornerstones of her tribes
have made Egypt stagger.

Isaiah 40:23

23 ^rwho brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.

and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and ^uthe rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his ^vAnointed’ ^{▼▼Or Christ}—
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your ^xholy servant Jesus, ^ywhom you anointed, both ^zHerod and ^aaPontius Pilate, along ^abwith the Gentiles and ^acthe peoples of Israel, 28 ^adto do whatever your hand and ^aeyour plan had predestined to take place.
