Or maybe, "God is against us," since
it is in the context of the coming Assyrians.
Verbs like "strive", "contend" take (m as the following preposition.
I don't understand the issue about one word or two. Isaiah gave
his kids funny names. One kid he named Maher $alal Ha$ baz.
Four separate words, still a name.
