“Because these people have refused
the softly flowing waters of Shiloah,
and rejoice with Rezin and Remaliah’s son,
therefore behold, Adonai is bringing on them
the waters of the River—mighty and massive—
    Assyria’s king with all his glory!
It will rise over all its channels
    and spill over all its banks.
Then it will sweep through Judah,
overflow as it passes through,
reaching even to the neck!
So the spread of its wings will be
    the full breadth of your land!
Immanuel!

“Because this people has rejected(A)
    the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(B)
and rejoices over Rezin
    and the son of Remaliah,(C)
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)
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)
