7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over themThe waters of the River, strong and mighty—The king of Assyria and all his glory;He will go up over all his channelsAnd go over all his banks.
8 He will pass through Judah,He will overflow and pass over,He will reach up to the neck;And the stretching out of his wingsWill fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.
9 “Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces!Give ear, all you from far countries.Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;Speak the word, but it will not stand,For God is with us.”
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
13 The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;Let Him be your fear,And let Him be your dread.
