⁷ therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
    the mighty floodwaters^(A) of the Euphrates—
    the king of Assyria^(B) with all his pomp.^(C)
It will overflow all its channels,
    run over all its banks^(D)

²³ They are armed with bow and spear;
    they are cruel and show no mercy.^(A)
They sound like the roaring sea^(B)
    as they ride on their horses;^(C)
they come like men in battle formation
    to attack you, Daughter Zion.^(D)”
