Isaiah 8:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ So I, the Lord, will bring
    the king of Assyria and all his power against them,
    like a powerful flood of water from the Euphrates River.
The Assyrians will be like water rising over the banks of the river,
    flowing over the land.
⁸ That water will flow into Judah and pass through it,
    rising to Judah’s throat.
Immanuel, this army will spread its wings like a bird
    until it covers your whole country.”
