Isaiah 8:5-8

The Coming Assyrian Invasion

⁵ The Lord spoke to me again: ⁶ "Because this people has refused the waters of _c Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over _d Rezin and the son of Remaliah, ⁷ therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them _e the waters of _f the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it _g will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks, ⁸ and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, _h reaching even to the neck, and its _i outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, _j O Immanuel."
