7For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:
8And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; *** and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.
9Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:
10Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.
11For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,
12Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.
13But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.
