Isaiah 8:7
Compare all
5 The Lord also spoke to me again, saying:
6 “Inasmuch as these people refused
The waters of aShiloah that flow softly,
And rejoice bin Rezin and in Remaliah’s son; 
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them
The waters of1 the River, strong and mighty—
The king of Assyria and all his glory;
He will1 go up over all his channels
And go over all his banks. 
8 He will1 pass through Judah,
He will overflow and pass over,
aHe will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will fill the breadth of Your land, O bImmanuel. 
9 “Bea 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 aTake counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
Speak the word, bbut it will not stand,
cFor1 God is with us.”  

Fear God, Heed His Word

11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with1 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 their1 threats, nor be troubled.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Isaiah 8:6   Isaiah 8:8 >>


Isaiah 8:7

The river - Of Euphrates, called the river, for its eminent greatness; whereby he understands the Assyrian forces. Glory - His numerous and puissant army. He - This great river shall overflow its own proper channels. That is, this great monarch shall enlarge his dominions, and add the lands of Syria and Israel to them.
