⁷ the Lord will certainly bring against them
the mighty rushing waters of the Euphrates River—
the king of Assyria and all his glory.
It will overflow its channels
and spill over all its banks.
⁸ It will pour into Judah,
flood over it, and sweep through,
reaching up to the neck;^(A)
and its spreading streams^[a]
will fill your entire land, Immanuel!^(B)

⁵ Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger—
the staff in their hands is My wrath.
⁶ I will send him against a godless nation;
I will command him to go
against a people destined for My rage,
to take spoils, to plunder,
and to trample them down like clay^(A) in the streets.
