5. Again the Lord spoke to me:
6. Because this people has rejectedthe waters of Shiloah that flow gently,And melts with fear at the display of Rezin and Remaliah’s son,
7. Therefore the Lord is bringing up against themthe waters of the River, great and mighty,the king of Assyria and all his glory.It shall rise above all its channels,and overflow all its banks.
8. It shall roll on into Judah,it shall rage and pass on—up to the neck it shall reach.But his outspread wings will fillthe width of your land, Emmanuel!
