5. Again the Lord spoke to me further, saying,
6. "Inasmuch as these people have rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah And rejoice in Rezin and the son of Remaliah;
7. "Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the strong and abundant waters of the Euphrates, Even the king of Assyria and all his glory; And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks.
8. "Then it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through, It will reach even to the neck; And the spread of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.
9. "Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; And give ear, all remote places of the earth. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered; Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.
10. "Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us."
11. For thus the Lord spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12. "You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.
13. "It is the Lord of hosts whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.
14. "Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15. "Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will even be snared and caught."
16. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
