Isaiah 8:1-4
1Then the Lord said to me, “Take for yourself a large tablet and 1write on it 2in ordinary letters: 34Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 2And 5I will take to Myself faithful witnesses for testimony, 6Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.” 3So I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, “Name him 78Maher-shalal-hash-baz; 4for 9before the boy knows how to cry out ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the wealth of 10Damascus and the spoils of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.”
