2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
*The Lord says, "Waters will rise from the north like a huge flood, covering the land and everything in it, including the city and its people. Everyone will cry and all the people on the land will howl."
