Isaiah 8:7-10
New International Version
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)
8 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)

speak a word, (H)but it will not stand,
for God (I)is with us.[d]

King James Version
7 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:
8 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.
9 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.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

7 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.

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.

9 “(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.
10 (J)Devise a plan, but it will fail;
State a [h]proposal, but (K)it will not stand,
For [i](L)God is with us.”
