Isaiah 8:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of [a]Shiloah that run softly, and rejoice with Rezin, and the son of Remaliah,
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of [b]the River mighty and great, even the King of Assyria with all his glory, and he shall come up upon all their rivers, and go over all their banks,
8 And shall break into Judah, and shall overflow, and pass through, and shall come up to the [c]neck, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O [d]Immanuel.
