nsb - Isaiah:8:1-10

nsb@Isaiah:8:1 @ Jehovah said to me: »Take a large writing tablet, and write on it with a pen: Maher Shalal Hash Baz.

nsb@Isaiah:8:2 @ »I will have these dependable witnesses testify: the priest Uriah and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.«

nsb@Isaiah:8:3 @ I slept with the prophetess. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Jehovah told me: »Name him Maher Shalal Hash Baz.

nsb@Isaiah:8:4 @ »Before the boy knows how to say »Father« or »Mother« the wealth of Damascus and the loot from Samaria will be carried away to the king of Assyria.«

nsb@Isaiah:8:5 @ Jehovah spoke to me again, He said:

nsb@Isaiah:8:6 @ »These people have rejected the gently flowing water of Shiloah and find joy in Rezin and Remaliah's son.

nsb@Isaiah:8:7 @ »That is why Jehovah is going to bring against them the raging and powerful floodwaters of the Euphrates River, that is, the king of Assyria with all his power. It will overflow all its channels and go over all its banks.

nsb@Isaiah:8:8 @ »It will sweep through Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will be neck-high. Its outspread wings will extend over your entire country, O Immanuel.«

nsb@Isaiah:8:9 @ Be broken, you people. Be terrified. Listen all you distant parts of the earth. Prepare for battle and be terrified. Prepare for battle and be terrified!

nsb@Isaiah:8:10 @ Make plans for battle, but they will never succeed. Give orders, but they will not be carried out, because God is with us!
