Eternal One: This disaster will happen because this people have rejected the stream of Shiloah
        that flows gently to Zion.
    Instead they rejoice over Rezin and Remaliah’s son.
    Just watch—the Lord will overwhelm them
        with great waves of the Euphrates River.
    Like a river, Assyrian might and glory will bear down on them;
        it will rise over its banks as unstoppable as a raging flood.
    This Mesopotamian power will pour into Judah, rise and pass through,
        wreaking near-fatal havoc.
    And its reach will extend over all your land.

God, be with us.

“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)
