Isaiah:8:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jehovah said to me ,
Take a big tablet and write in it with a man '
s pen :
Make haste to plunder !
Hasten to the prey !
*
And I took faithful witnesses to record for me ,
Uriah the priest ,
and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah .
*
And I drew near the prophetess .
And she conceived ,
and bore a son .
Then Jehovah said to me ,
Call his name ,
Hurry ,
plunder !
Eagerly plunder !
*
For before the boy knows to cry ,
My father ,
or ,
My mother ,
the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria .
*
Jehovah also spoke to me again ,
saying ,
*
Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly ,
and rejoices in Rezin and Remaliah '
s son ,
*
Behold ,
therefore the Lord also brings on them the channels of the River ,
mighty and many :
the king of Assyria and all his glory .
And he shall come up over all its channels ,
and go over all its banks .
*
And he shall pass through Judah .
He shall overflow and go over .
He shall reach to the neck ;
and his wings will be stretching out ,
filling the breadth of your land ,
O Immanuel .
*
O peoples ,
suffer evil ,
and be broken !
And listen ,
all from the far places of the earth ;
gird yourselves ,
and be broken .
Gird yourselves and be broken !
*
Counsel a counsel ,
and it is frustrated ;
speak a word ,
and it shall not rise ;
for God is with us .
