Isaiah:8:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jehovah said to me ,
Take thee a great tablet ,
and write thereon with a man '
s style ,
concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz .
*
And I took unto me to witness ,
sure witnesses ,
Urijah the priest ,
and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah .
*
And I came near to the prophetess ,
and she conceived and bore a son ;
and Jehovah said unto me ,
Call his name ,
Maher-shalal-hash-baz .
*
For before the lad knoweth to cry ,
My father !
and ,
My mother !
the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria .
*
And Jehovah spoke again to me ,
saying ,
*
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly ,
and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah ,
*
therefore behold ,
the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river ,
strong and many ,
the king of Assyria and all his glory ;
and he shall mount up over all his channels ,
and go over all his banks :
*
and he shall pass through Judah ;
he shall overflow it and go further ,
he shall reach even to the neck ;
and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land ,
O Immanuel !
*
Rage ,
ye peoples ,
and be broken in pieces !
And give ear ,
all ye distant parts of the earth :
Gird yourselves ,
and be broken in pieces ;
gird yourselves ,
and be broken in pieces !
*
Settle a plan ,
and it shall come to nought ;
speak a word ,
and it shall not stand :
for �
God is with us .
