2 Nephi 18:5–8

The Lord spake also unto me again, saying:

Forasmuch as this people refuseth
the waters of Shiloah that go softly,
and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

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 he shall come up over all his channels,
and go over all his banks.

and he shall pass through Judah;
he shall overflow and go over,
he shall reach even to the neck;
and the stretching out of his wings
shall fill the breadth of thy land,
O Immanuel.
