Isaiah 8:5-8
New International Version
Isaiah 8:5-8
New International Version
5 The Lord spoke to me again:
6 “Because this people has rejected(A)
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(B)
and rejoices over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,(C)
7 therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
the mighty floodwaters(D) of the Euphrates—
the king of Assyria(E) with all his pomp.(F)
It will overflow all its channels,
run over all its banks(G)
8 and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(H)
passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(I) will cover the breadth of your land,
Immanuel[a]!”(J)

King James Version
5 The Lord spake also unto me again, saying,
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

New International Version
Isaiah 8:11-18
New International Version
11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me,(A) warning me not to follow(B) the way of this people:
12 “Do not call conspiracy(C)
everything this people calls a conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,(D)
and do not dread it.(E)
13 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,(F)
he is the one you are to fear,(G)
he is the one you are to dread.(H)
14 He will be a holy place;(I)
for both Israel and Judah he will be
a stone(J) that causes people to stumble(K)
and a rock that makes them fall.(L)
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be
a trap and a snare.(M)
15 Many of them will stumble;(N)
they will fall and be broken,
they will be snared and captured.”
16 Bind up this testimony of warning(O)
and seal(P) up God’s instruction among my disciples.
17 I will wait(Q) for the Lord,
who is hiding(R) his face from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my trust in him.(S)
18 Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me.(T) We are signs(U) and symbols(V) in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion.(W)
Isaiah 8:11-18
King James Version
Isaiah 8:11-18
King James Version
11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
