Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jehovah said to me ,
Take thee a great tablet ,
and with a man
s writing
instrument write on it ,
Hasteth
the
prey ,
Speedeth
the
spoil .
*
And I took with me faithful witnesses ,
Uriah the priest ,
and Zechariah ,
the son of Berechiah .
*
I went in to the prophetess ,
and she conceived and bore a son .
Then said Jehovah to me ,
Call his name ,
Hasteth
the
prey ,
Speedeth
the
spoil .
*
For before the child shall learn to say ,
My father ,
and My mother ,
the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be borne away before the king of Assyria .
*
Moreover ,
Jehovah spake to me again ,
saying :
*
Because this people despiseth The soft
flowing waters of Siloah ,
And rejoiceth in Rezin ,
and the son of Remaliah ,
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the Lord bringeth upon them the strong and mighty waters of the river ;
He shall rise above all his channels ,
And go over all his banks .
*
And he shall pass through Judah ,
overflowing and spreading ;
Even to the neck shall he reach ,
And his stretched
out wings shall fill the whole breadth of thy land ,
O Immanuel !
*
Rage ,
ye nations ,
and despair !
Give ear ,
all ye distant parts of the earth !
Gird yourselves ,
and despair !
Gird yourselves ,
and despair !
*
Form your plan ,
and it shall come to naught ;
Give the command ,
and it shall not stand ;
For God is with us .
