Isaiah 8:6-8
Good News Translation
6 He said, “Because these people have rejected the quiet waters of Shiloah Brook[a] and tremble[b] before King Rezin and King Pekah, 7 I, the Lord, will bring the emperor of Assyria and all his forces to attack Judah. They will advance like the flood waters of the Euphrates River, overflowing all its banks. 8 They will sweep through Judah in a flood, rising shoulder high and covering everything.”
God is with us! His outspread wings protect the land.[c]

Isaiah 8:6-8
New International Version
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)
