7 Therefore look! Jehovah will bring against them

The mighty and vast waters of the River,*

The king of As·syrʹi·a+ and all his glory.

He will come up over all his streambeds

And overflow all his banks

 8 And sweep through Judah.

He will flood and pass through, reaching to the neck;+

His outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land,

O Im·manʹu·el!”*+

28 He has come to Aiʹath;+

He has passed through Migʹron;

At Michʹmash+ he deposits his baggage.

29 They have passed over the ford;

They spend the night at Geʹba;+

Raʹmah trembles, Gibʹe·ah+ of Saul has fled.+

He shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion,

The hill of Jerusalem.

 8 The highways are deserted;

There is no one traveling on the pathways.

He* has broken the covenant;

He has rejected the cities;

He shows no regard for mortal man.+
