Isaiah 8:7-9
International Standard Version
Isaiah 8:7-9
International Standard Version
7 watch out! The Lord God[a] is about to bring the flood waters of the Euphrates[b] River against them, mighty and strong.[c]
“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[d] reaching up to a person’s neck. His outstretched wings will flow as wide as your land, O Immanuel!”
9 “Band together,[e] you peoples,
but be shattered!
Listen, all you distant countries!
Strap on your armor,
but be shattered.[f]
