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.”
