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:

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.

Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the (A)strong and abundant waters of the (B)Euphrates River,
That is, the (C)king of Assyria and all his glory;
And it will (D)rise over all its channels and go over all its banks.
Then (E)it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through,
It will (F)reach as far as the neck;
And the spread of its wings will [a]fill the expanse of [b]your land, (G)Immanuel.

A Believing Remnant

(H)Be broken, you peoples, and be [c](I)shattered;
And listen, all remote places of the earth.
[d]Get ready, yet be [e]shattered;
[f]Get ready, yet be [g]shattered.
