rsv Isaiah:8:1-10
rsv@Isaiah:8:1 @ Then the LORD said to me, "Take a large tablet and write upon it in common characters, `Belonging to Ma'her-shal'al-hash-baz.'"
rsv@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I got reliable witnesses, Uri'ah the priest and Zechari'ah the son of Jeberechi'ah, to attest for me.
rsv@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Call his name Ma'her-shal'al-hash-baz;
rsv@Isaiah:8:4 @ for before the child knows how to cry `My father' or `My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Sama'ria will be carried away before the king of Assyria."
rsv@Isaiah:8:5 @ The LORD spoke to me again:
rsv@Isaiah:8:6 @ "Because this people have refused the waters of Shilo'ah that flow gently, and melt in fear before Rezin and the son of Remali'ah;
rsv@Isaiah:8:7 @ therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and it will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks;
rsv@Isaiah:8:8 @ and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, reaching even to the neck; and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Imman'u-el."
rsv@Isaiah:8:9 @ Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed; give ear, all you far countries; gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed.
rsv@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, but it will come to nought; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us.
