Isaiah8:7

Ver. 7. Now therefore behold the Lord bringeth] They that ſlighted ſtill-running Shiloah, ſhall have the waters of Euphrates ſtrong and many to overwhelm and ſwallow them up. God loveth to retaliate.

Even the King of Aſſyria and all his glory] i. e. his armies and forces wherein he gloryeth. See chap. 10.8. and 36.9.

[non-Latin text not transcribed]. And he ſhall] Or, it ſhall, viz. the River Euphrates, whoſe exundation is here graphically deſcribed, and thereby depainted to the life the practice of tyrants in over-running whole countreys as by a deluge, as did the Aſſyrian of old, and as doth the great Turk at this day.
