⁶ “[^LBecause] These people refuse to accept
    the ·slow-moving [gently flowing] waters of the pool of Shiloah [^Cprobably 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 [^CPekah; 7:1, 4–5].
⁷ So ·I, the Lord, [^Llook/behold, the Lord] will bring against them
    a powerful flood of water from the ·Euphrates River [^LRiver]—
    the king of Assyria and all his ·power [glory].
·The Assyrians will be like water rising [^LIt will rise] over ·the banks of the river [its channels],
    flowing over ·the land [its banks].
⁸ That water will ·flow [sweep] into Judah and pass through it,
    rising to ·Judah’s throat [^Lthe neck].
·This army [^LIt] will spread its wings like a bird
    until it covers ·your whole country [the breadth of our land], ·Immanuel [or God is with us].”
