Again the Lord spoke to me, saying,

[L Because] These people refuse to accept
    the ·slow-moving [gently flowing] waters of the pool of Shiloah [C probably the stream flowing from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam (John 9:7); God’s gentle influence is contrasted with the “flood” of the Assyrian invasion; v. 7]
and ·are terrified of [or rejoice over] Rezin
    and the son of Remaliah [C Pekah; 7:1, 4–5].
So ·I, the Lord, [L look/behold, the Lord] will bring against them
    a powerful flood of water from the ·Euphrates River [L River]
    the king of Assyria and all his ·power [glory].
·The Assyrians will be like water rising [L It will rise] over ·the banks of the river [its channels],
    flowing over ·the land [its banks].

The Lord spoke to me again:

“Because this people has rejected(A)
    the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(B)
and rejoices over Rezin
    and the son of Remaliah,(C)
therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
    the mighty floodwaters(D) of the Euphrates—
    the king of Assyria(E) with all his pomp.(F)
It will overflow all its channels,
    run over all its banks(G)
