Isaiah

Isaiah 8:6–8

6“Because this people has rejected

the gently flowing waters of Shiloah

and rejoiced in Rezin

and the son of Remaliah,

7the Lord will surely bring against them

the mighty floodwaters of the Euphratesc—

the king of Assyria and all his pomp.

It will overflow its channels

and overrun its banks.

8It will pour into Judah,

swirling and sweeping over it,

reaching up to the neck;

its spreading streams will cover

your entire land, O Immanuel!d
