Because this people has rejected
    the waters of Shiloah that flow gently
and trembled in fear
    before Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
the Lord will therefore raise against it
    the mighty flood waters of the river
    (the king of Assyria and all his glory).
The river will rise above all its channels
    and overflow all its banks;
it will sweep on into Judah like a flood
    reaching up to the neck,
and its wings, spreading out,
    will cover the 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)
