* Moreover the LORD said unto me , Take thee a great roll , and write in it with a mans pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz Maher Shalal Chash . * And I tookunto me faithful witnesses to record , Uriah the priest , and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah . * And I went unto the prophetess n @biy #ah #; and she conceived , and bare a son . Then said the LORD to me , Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz Maher Shalal Chash . * For before the child shall have knowledge 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 . * The LORD spake also unto me again , saying , * Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly , and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliahs son ; * Now therefore , behold , the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river , strong and many , even the king of Assyria , and all his glory : and he shall come up over all his channels , and go over all his banks : * And he shall pass through Judah ; he shall overflow and go over , he shall reach even to the neck tsavva #r #; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land , O Immanuel #Immanuw #el #. * Associate yourselves , O ye people , and ye shall be broken in pieces ; and give ear , all ye of far countries : gird yourselves , and ye shall be broken in pieces ; gird yourselves , and ye shall be broken in pieces . * Takecounsel together , and it shall come to nought ; speak the word , and it shall not stand : for God is with us . * For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand , and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people , saying , * Say ye not , A confederacy , to all them to whom this people shall say , A confederacy ; neither fear ye their fear , nor be afraid . * Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself ; and let him be your fear , and let him be your dread . * And he shall be for a sanctuary ; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel Yisra #el #, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem . * And many among them shall stumble , and fall , and be broken , and be snared , and be taken . * Bind up the testimony t @#uwdah #, seal the law among my disciples . * And I will wait upon the LORD , that hideth his face from the house of Jacob Ya #aqob #, and I will look for him . * Behold , I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts , which dwelleth in mount Zion . * And when they shall say unto you , Seek unto them that have familiar spirits , and unto wizards that peep , and that mutter : should not a people seek unto their God ? for the living o the dead ? * To the law and to the testimony t @#uwdah #: if they speak not according to this word , it is because there is no light in them . * And they shall pass through it , hardly bestead and hungry ra #eb #: and it shall come to pass , that when they shall be hungry , they shall fret themselves , and curse their king and their God , and look upward ma #al #. * And they shall look unto the earth ; and behold trouble and darkness , dimness of anguish ; and they shall be driven to darkness .
