6. These people have refused the gentle waters of Shiloah and have gladly gone over to the side of King Rezin and King Pekah.

7. Now I will send the king of Assyria against them with his powerful army, which will attack like the mighty River Euphrates overflowing its banks.

8. Enemy soldiers will cover Judah like a flood reaching up to your neck.But God is with us.He will spread his wingsand protect our land.

9. All you foreign nations,go ahead and prepare for war,but you will be crushed.

10. Get together and make plans,but you will failbecause God is with us.

11. The Lord took hold of me with his powerful hand and said:I'm warning you! Don't act like these people.
