New King James Version
15 Behold, I will bring a (A)nation against you (B)from afar,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
“It is a mighty nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
They are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up your (C)harvest and your bread,
Which your sons and daughters should eat.
They shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
They shall destroy your fortified cities,
In which you trust, with the sword.

The waters of [c]the River, strong and mighty—
The king of Assyria and all his glory;
He will [d]go up over all his channels
And go over all his banks.

(E)He will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will [e]fill the breadth of Your land, O (F)Immanuel.[f]
