Isaiah 8:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version
6 He said, “These people[a] refuse to accept the slow-moving waters of Shiloah.[b] They prefer Rezin and Remaliah’s son.” 7 But the Lord will bring the king of Assyria and all his power against them. The Assyrians will come like their swift moving river, like water that rises and spills over its banks. 8 This water will be like a flash flood as it passes through Judah. It will rise to Judah’s throat and almost drown him.
But he will spread his wings over your whole country, Immanuel.[c]
