Isaiah 8:1-8

1Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary1 stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.2 2And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”

3And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 4For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”

5And the LORD spoke to me further:

6“Because this people has rejectedthe gently flowing waters of Shiloahand rejoiced in Rezinand the son of Remaliah,7the Lord will surely bring against themthe mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates3—the king of Assyria and all his pomp.
It will overflow its channelsand overrun its banks.8It will pour into Judah,swirling and sweeping over it,reaching up to the neck;its spreading streams will coveryour entire land, O Immanuel!4
