For that thing that this people hath cast away the waters of Shiloah, that go with silence (that flow silently), and hath taken more [to] Rezin, and the son of Remaliah,

for this thing lo! the Lord shall bring [up]on them the strong and many waters of the flood, the king of Assyrians, and all his glory (that is, the king of Assyria, and all his glory); and he shall ascend on all the streams thereof, and he shall (over)flow on all the rivers thereof.

And he shall go flowing by Judah, and he shall pass till to the neck, and shall come; and the spreading forth of his wings shall be, and shall fill the breadth of thy land, thou Immanuel. (And he shall come, and he shall flow through Judah, and he shall rise up unto their necks; and the spreading forth of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.)

“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)
