Isaiah 8:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 8:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 But the Lord will bring the king of Assyria and all his power against them. The Assyrians will come like their swift moving river, like water that rises and spills over its banks. 8 This water will be like a flash flood as it passes through Judah. It will rise to Judah’s throat and almost drown him.
But he will spread his wings over your whole country, Immanuel.[a]
9 All you nations, prepare for war.
You will be defeated.
Listen, all you faraway countries!
Prepare for battle.
You will be defeated.
Footnotes

the mighty floodwaters(A) of the Euphrates—
the king of Assyria(B) with all his pomp.(C)
It will overflow all its channels,
run over all its banks(D)

passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(F) will cover the breadth of your land,
Immanuel[a]!”(G)
