¹⁴ As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves `upon me'.

¹⁶ Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

⁴ The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁵ Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

⁷ now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many, `even' the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;

⁸ and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
