Isaiah 8:6-8
International Standard Version
6 “Because this people have rejected the gently-flowing waters of Shiloah, and because[a] they keep rejoicing in Rezin and Remaliah’s son, 7 watch out! The Lord God[b] is about to bring the flood waters of the Euphrates[c] River against them, mighty and strong.[d]
“It’s the king of Assyria and all of his arrogance! He will rise over all of the river’s channels and run over all of its banks. 8 He will sweep on into Judah, overflowing as he passes through, like flood waters[e] reaching up to a person’s neck. His outstretched wings will flow as wide as your land, O Immanuel!”

Isaiah 8:6-8
New International Version
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)
