Isaiah 8:1-10

1And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, TakeH3947 thee a greatH1419 tabletH1549, and writeH3789 uponH5921 it with the pen of a manH582, For Maher-shalal-hash-bazH4122;

2and I will take unto meH539 faithfulH539 witnessesH5707 to record, UriahH223 the priestH3548, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeberechiahH3000.

3And I wentH413 unto the prophetessH5031; and sheH7121 conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto meH413, CallH7121 his nameH8034 Maher-shalal-hash-bazH4122.

4For beforeH6440 the childH5288 shall have knowledgeH3045 to cryH7121, My fatherH1, and, My motherH517, the richesH2428 of DamascusH1834 and the spoilH7998 of SamariaH8111 shall be carriedH5375 awayH5375 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.

5And the LORDH3068 spake unto meH413 yet againH5750, sayingH559,

6Forasmuch as this peopleH5971 hath refused the watersH4325 of Shiloah that goH1980 softly, and rejoiceH4885 in RezinH7526 and Remaliah’s sonH1121;

7nowH2009 therefore, beholdH2009, the LordH136 bringeth upH5927 uponH5921 them the watersH4325 of the RiverH5104, strongH6099 and manyH7227, evenH3651 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 and allH3605 his gloryH3519: and he shall comeH1980 upH5927 over allH3605 his channelsH650, and goH1980 over allH3605 his banksH1415:

8and he shall sweepH2498 onward intoH776 JudahH3063; he shall overflowH7857 and passH5674 throughH5674; he shall reachH5060 evenH5704 to the neckH6677; and the stretching outH5704 of his wingsH3671 shall fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of thy landH776, O ImmanuelH6005.

9Make an uproar; O ye peoplesH5971, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and giveH238 earH238, allH3605 ye of farH4801 countriesH776: girdH247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces: girdH247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

10TakeH5779 counselH6098 togetherH5973, and it shall be broughtH6965 to nought; speakH1696 the wordH1697, and it shall notH3808 standH6965: for GodH410 is with usH3588.
