Isaiah 8:8Easy To Read VersionThat water will spill out of that river and flow into Judah. The water will rise to Judah’s throat—\{it will almost drown Judah\}. See the chapter |
The Lord’s breath (Spirit) is like a great river—rising until it reaches the throat. The Lord will judge the nations. It will be like he shakes them through the ‘Strainer of Destruction.’ The Lord will control them. It will be like a bit {\cf2\super [283]} that controls an animal is in the mouths of the people.
The Lord says:\par “Look, \{the enemy soldiers\par are meeting together\} in the north. {\cf2\super [372]} \par They will come like a fast river\par spilling over its banks.\par They will cover the whole country\par like a flood.\par They will cover the towns\par and the people living in them.\par Everyone living in that country\par will cry for help.\par
