The Lord spoke to me again:

Because these people rejected
the slowly flowing water of Shiloah
and rejoiced with[a] Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,(A)
the Lord will certainly bring against them
the mighty rushing water of the River Euphrates –
the king of Assyria and all his glory.
It will overflow its channels
and spill over all its banks.
It will pour into Judah,
flood over it, and sweep through,
reaching up to the neck;(B)
and its flooded banks[b]
will fill your entire land, Immanuel!(C)

Band together,[c] peoples, and be broken;
pay attention, all you distant lands;
prepare for war, and be broken;
prepare for war, and be broken.
10 Devise a plan; it will fail.(D)
Make a prediction; it will not happen.
For God is with us.[d](E)
