“See how the waters are rising in the north;^(A)
    they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
    the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
    all who dwell in the land will wail^(B)

⁷ therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
    the mighty floodwaters^(A) of the Euphrates—
    the king of Assyria^(B) with all his pomp.^(C)
It will overflow all its channels,
    run over all its banks^(D)
8 and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,^(E)
    passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings^(F) will cover the breadth of your land,
    Immanuel^[a]!”^(G)
