So now, see, the Lord is ready to bring on them the strong and powerful waters of the Euphrates, the king of Assyria and all his greatness. It will rise up high and cause a flood. Then it will flow into Judah. It will flood and pass through, and come up even to the neck. And the spread of its wings will cover the width of your land, O Immanuel.

“Be broken, O people, and be afraid. Listen, all you far places of the earth. Get ready, yet be afraid. Get ready, yet be afraid.

therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
    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)
and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(E)
    passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(F) will cover the breadth of your land,
    Immanuel[a]!”(G)

Raise the war cry,[b](H) you nations, and be shattered!(I)
    Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare(J) for battle, and be shattered!
    Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
