5 Then Yahweh continued to speak to me again, saying, 6 “Yehudah has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah and instead requests help from King Retsin and Remalyah’s son King Pekah, 7 so therefore my master will send the waters of a large, powerful river onto them: the Assyrian king and all his majestic power. It’ll come like a flood filling all the channels then overflowing all its banks. 8 It will sweep across Yehudah, flooding yet moving on until it reaches your neck. It’s edges will cover your entire country, Immanuel.”

9 Raise the war cry, peoples, and be terrified,

and listen, all you distant places in the world.

Prepare yourselves for war and to be shattered.

Prepare yourselves for war and to be shattered.

10 Make whatever plans you want, but they’ll come to nothing.

Give a presentation but it won’t stand, because God is with us.
