Moreover the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, Take [03947] thee a great [01419] roll [01549], and write [03789] in it with a man's [0582] pen [02747] concerning Maher–shalal–hash–baz [04122].Maher–shalal–hash–baz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc
And I took [05749] unto me faithful [0539] witnesses [05707] to record [05749], Uriah [0223] the priest [03548], and Zechariah [02148] the son [01121] of Jeberechiah [03000].
And I went [07126] unto the prophetess [05031]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]. Then said [0559] the Lord [03068] to me, Call [07121] his name [08034] Maher–shalal–hash–baz [04122].went: Heb. approached
For before the child [05288] shall have knowledge [03045] to cry [07121], My father [01], and my mother [0517], the riches [02428] of Damascus [01834] and the spoil [07998] of Samaria [08111] shall be taken away [05375] before [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].the riches…: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc
The Lord [03068] spake [01696] also unto me again [03254], saying [0559],
Forasmuch [03282] as this people [05971] refuseth [03988] the waters [04325] of Shiloah [07975] that go [01980] softly [0328], and rejoice [04885] in Rezin [07526] and Remaliah's [07425] son [01121];
Now therefore, behold, the Lord [0136] bringeth up [05927] upon them the waters [04325] of the river [05104], strong [06099] and many [07227], even the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and all his glory [03519]: and he shall come up [05927] over all his channels [0650], and go over [01980] all his banks [01415]:
And he shall pass [02498] through Judah [03063]; he shall overflow [07857] and go over [05674], he shall reach [05060] even to the neck [06677]; and the stretching out [04298] of his wings [03671] shall fill [04393] the breadth [07341] of thy land [0776], O Immanuel [0410] [06005].stretching…: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings
Associate [07489] yourselves, O ye people [05971], and ye shall be broken in pieces [02865]; and give ear [0238], all [03605] ye of far [04801] countries [0776]: gird [0247] yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces [02865]; gird [0247] yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces [02865].people, and: or, people, yet
Take [05779] counsel [06098] together [05779], and it shall come to nought [06565]; speak [01696] the word [01697], and it shall not stand [06965]: for God [0410] is with us.
For the Lord [03068] spake [0559] thus to me with a strong [02393] hand [03027], and instructed [03256] me that I should not walk [03212] in the way [01870] of this people [05971], saying [0559],with…: Heb. in strength of hand
Say [0559] ye not, A confederacy [07195], to all them to whom this people [05971] shall say [0559], A confederacy [07195]; neither fear [03372] ye their fear [04172], nor be afraid [06206].
Sanctify [06942] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] himself; and let him be your fear [04172], and let him be your dread [06206].
And he shall be for a sanctuary [04720]; but for a stone [068] of stumbling [05063] and for a rock [06697] of offence [04383] to both [08147] the houses [01004] of Israel [03478], for a gin [06341] and for a snare [04170] to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389].
And many [07227] among them shall stumble [03782], and fall [05307], and be broken [07665], and be snared [03369], and be taken [03920].
Bind up [06887] the testimony [08584], seal [02856] the law [08451] among my disciples [03928].
And I will wait [02442] upon the Lord [03068], that hideth [05641] his face [06440] from the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and I will look [06960] for him.
Behold, I and the children [03206] whom the Lord [03068] hath given [05414] me are for signs [0226] and for wonders [04159] in Israel [03478] from the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], which dwelleth [07931] in mount [02022] Zion [06726].
And when they shall say [0559] unto you, Seek [01875] unto them that have familiar spirits [0178], and unto wizards [03049] that peep [06850], and that mutter [01897]: should not a people [05971] seek [01875] unto their God [0430]? for the living [02416] to the dead [04191]?
To the law [08451] and to the testimony [08584]: if they speak [0559] not according to this word [01697], it is because there is no light [07837] in them.no…: Heb. no morning
And they shall pass [05674] through it, hardly bestead [07185] and hungry [07457]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [07456], they shall fret [07107] themselves, and curse [07043] their king [04428] and their God [0430], and look [06437] upward [04605].
And they shall look [05027] unto the earth [0776]; and behold trouble [06869] and darkness [02825], dimness [04588] of anguish [06695]; and they shall be driven [05080] to darkness [0653].
