That is why Adonay is going to bring against them
    the raging and powerful floodwaters of the Euphrates River—
        the king of Assyria with all his power.
    It will overflow all its channels and go over all its banks.
It will sweep through Judah.
    It will overflow and pass through; it will be neck-high.
    Its outspread wings will extend over your whole country, O Immanuel.

Be broken, you people. Be terrified.
    Listen, all you distant parts of the earth.
    Prepare for battle, but be terrified.
    Prepare for battle, but be terrified.

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)
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)

Raise the war cry,[b](H) you nations, and be shattered!(I)
    Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare(J) for battle, and be shattered!
    Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
