[8:5] The Lord spoke to me again.
[8:6] He said, “Because these people have rejected the quiet waters of Shiloah Brook and tremble before King Rezin and King Pekah,
[8:7] I, the Lord, will bring the emperor of Assyria and all his forces to attack Judah. They will advance like the flood waters of the Euphrates River, overflowing all its banks.
[8:8] They will sweep through Judah in a flood, rising shoulder high and covering everything.” God is with us! His outspread wings protect the land.
[8:9] Gather together in fear, you nations! Listen, you distant parts of the earth. Get ready to fight, but be afraid! Yes, get ready, but be afraid!
[8:10] Make your plans! But they will never succeed. Talk all you want to! But it is all useless, because God is with us.
