Isaiah 8:1-10

1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “TakeH3947 for yourself a largeH1419 tabletH1549 and 1writeH3789 on it 2in ordinaryH582 lettersH2747: 34SwiftH4116 is the bootyH7998, speedyH2363 is the preyH957. 2And 5I will takeH5749 to Myself faithfulH539 witnessesH5707 for testimonyH5749, 6UriahH223 the priestH3548 and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeberechiahH3000.” 3So I approachedH7126 the prophetessH5031, and she conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121. Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “NameH7121H8034 him 78Maher-shalal-hash-bazH4122; 4for 9beforeH2962 the boyH5288 knowsH3045 how to cryH7121 out ‘My fatherH1’ or ‘My motherH517,’ the wealthH2428 of 10DamascusH1834 and the spoilH7998 of SamariaH8111 will be carriedH5375 away beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.”

5AgainH3254 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to me furtherH5750, sayingH559,6“InasmuchH3282H3588 as theseH2088 peopleH5971 have 11rejectedH3988 the gentlyH328 flowingH1980 watersH4325 of ShiloahH7975 And rejoiceH4885 in 12RezinH7526 and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425;7Now thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, the LordH136 is about to bringH5927 on them the 13strongH6099 and abundantH7227 watersH4325 of the 1415EuphratesH5104, Even the 16kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 and allH3605 his gloryH3519; And it will 17riseH5927 up overH5921 allH3605 its channelsH650 and goH1980 overH5921 allH3605 its banksH1415.8Then 18it will sweepH2498 on into JudahH3063, it will overflowH7857 and passH5674 throughH5674, It will 19reachH5060 evenH5704 to the neckH6677; And the spreadH4298 of its wingsH3671 will 20fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of 21your landH776, O 22ImmanuelH6005.

9“23Be brokenH7489, O peoplesH5971, and be 2425shatteredH2865; And giveH238 earH238, allH3605 remoteH4801 placesH4801 of the earthH776. GirdH247 yourselves, yet be 26shatteredH2865; GirdH247 yourselves, yet be 27shatteredH2865.1028DeviseH5779 a planH6098, but it will be thwartedH6565; StateH1696 a 29proposalH1697, but 30it will not standH6965, For 3132GodH410 is with us.”
