Isaiah 8:5-8
New International Version
5 The Lord spoke to me again:
6 “Because this people has rejected(A)
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(B)
and rejoices over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,(C)
7 therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
the mighty floodwaters(D) of the Euphrates—
the king of Assyria(E) with all his pomp.(F)
It will overflow all its channels,
run over all its banks(G)
8 and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(H)
passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(I) will cover the breadth of your land,
Immanuel[a]!”(J)

Isaiah 8:19-22
New International Version
The Darkness Turns to Light
19 When someone tells you to consult(A) mediums and spiritists,(B) who whisper and mutter,(C) should not a people inquire(D) of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God’s instruction(E) and the testimony of warning.(F) If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light(G) of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry,(H) they will roam through the land;(I) when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse(J) their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom,(K) and they will be thrust into utter darkness.(L)
Isaiah 9:8-12
New International Version
The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
8 The Lord has sent a message(A) against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim(B) and the inhabitants of Samaria(C)—
who say with pride
and arrogance(D) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(E)
the fig(F) trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.(G)”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(H) foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(I) from the east and Philistines(J) from the west
have devoured(K) Israel with open mouth.
