“These people refuse to accept
    the slow-moving waters of the pool of Shiloah
and are terrified of Rezin
    and Pekah son of Remaliah.
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.
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.”

“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)
and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(H)
    passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(I) will cover the breadth of your land,
    Immanuel[a]!”(J)

  1. Isaiah 8:8 Immanuel means God with us.

Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
