therefore behold, the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall mount up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

and he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow it and go further, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!

Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces!

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)
and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(E)
    passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(F) will cover the breadth of your land,
    Immanuel[a]!”(G)

Raise the war cry,[b](H) you nations, and be shattered!(I)
    Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare(J) for battle, and be shattered!
    Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
