15 (A)Behold, I am bringing against you
    a nation from afar, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.

they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
    they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
your (F)fortified cities in which you trust
    they shall beat down with the sword.”

The Lord spoke to me again: “Because this people has refused the waters of (E)Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over (F)Rezin and the son of Remaliah, therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them (G)the waters of (H)the River,[a] mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory.
