King James Version
Then
the LORD said to
me, “
Take a large
scroll
and write on
it with an
ordinary
stylus:
Maher-shalal-hash-baz
.
Moreover
the LORD said unto
me, Take thee
a great
roll,
and write in
it with a
man's
pen
concerning
Mahershalalhashbaz
.
And I will
appoint
for
Myself
trustworthy
witnesses —
Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah
. ”
And I took
unto
me
faithful
witnesses to
record,
Uriah the priest ,
and Zechariah the
son of Jeberechiah
.
And 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
.
And I went
unto
the prophetess ;
and she conceived ,
and bare
a son. Then
said
the LORD to me, Call
his
name Mahershalalhashbaz
.
For 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. ”
For before the child
shall
have
knowledge
to cry ,
My
father ,
and
my
mother, the riches
of Damascus and the spoil
of Samaria shall
be taken
away
before
the king of Assyria.
And
the LORD spoke
to
me further:
The LORD spake
also
unto
me again,
saying,
“Because
this people has
rejected
the gently
flowing
waters of Shiloah and rejoiced
in Rezin and the
son of
Remaliah,
Forasmuch
as
this people refuseth
the waters of Shiloah that
go
softly,
and rejoice
in Rezin and Remaliah's
son ;
the Lord will
surely
bring
against
them the mighty
floodwaters
of the Euphrates
—
the king of Assyria and all his pomp.
It
will
overflow
its
channels and overrun
its
banks .
Now
therefore,
behold,
the Lord bringeth
up
upon
them the waters
of the river,
strong
and
many,
even
the king of Assyria ,
and all his glory:
and
he
shall
come
up
over
all
his
channels ,
and go
over
all
his
banks :
It
will
pour
into
Judah ,
swirling
and sweeping
over it
, reaching
up
to the neck; its
spreading
streams
will
cover
your
entire
land, O Immanuel !
And
he
shall
pass
through
Judah ;
he
shall
overflow
and go
over, he
shall
reach
even
to the neck; and
the
stretching
out
of
his
wings
shall
fill
the
breadth
of
thy
land, O Immanuel .
Huddle
together
, O peoples
, and be shattered
; pay
attention
, all you
distant
lands;
prepare
for
battle
, and be shattered
; prepare
for
battle
, and be shattered!
Associate
yourselves
, O ye
people
, and ye
shall
be broken
in
pieces
; and
give
ear
, all ye
of
far
countries:
gird
yourselves
, and ye
shall
be broken
in
pieces
; gird
yourselves
, and ye
shall
be broken
in
pieces.
Devise
a
plan
, but
it will
be
thwarted
; state
a
proposal
, but
it will
not happen.
For God is with us. ”
Take
counsel
together
, and
it shall
come
to
nought
; speak
the
word
, and
it shall
not stand:
for God is with us.
For this
is
what
the LORD has
spoken
to me with a strong hand, instructing
me not to
walk in the way of this people :
For the LORD spake
thus
to me with a strong hand, and
instructed
me that
I
should
not walk in the way of this people ,
saying,
“Do
not call
conspiracy
everything
these
people regard
as
conspiracy.
Do
not
fear what
they
fear ;
do
not
live
in
dread
.
Say
ye
not ,
A
confederacy,
to
all
them
to
whom
this
people shall
say,
A
confederacy;
neither
fear ye
their
fear ,
nor
be
afraid
.
The LORD of Hosts is
the
One
you
shall
regard
as
holy.
Only
He
should
be
feared
; only
He
should
be dreaded
.
Sanctify
the LORD of hosts himself
; and
let
him
be your
fear,
and
let
him
be
your
dread
.
And He will
be a sanctuary —
but to
both
houses
of
Israel
a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
to the dwellers
of Jerusalem
a trap
and a snare.
And he shall
be for
a sanctuary ;
but for
a stone of stumbling and for
a rock of offence
to both
the houses
of Israel,
for
a gin
and for
a snare to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
.
Many will
stumble over
these;
they
will
fall and be broken ;
they
will
be ensnared
and captured
. ”
And
many among
them
shall
stumble ,
and
fall ,
and be broken ,
and
be snared,
and be
taken
.
Bind up the testimony and
seal the law among my disciples.
Bind up the testimony ,
seal the law among my disciples.
I will wait for
the LORD, who
is
hiding
His face from the house of Jacob .
I will put
my
trust
in
Him.
And
I will wait upon
the LORD, that
hideth
his face from the house of Jacob ,
and
I will look
for
him.
Here
am
I
, and the children the LORD has
given me as
signs and symbols
in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who
dwells
on
Mount Zion.
Behold
, I
and the children whom
the LORD hath
given me are
for
signs and for
wonders
in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which
dwelleth
in
mount Zion.
When men
tell
you to
consult
the
spirits of
the
dead
and the
spiritists
who
whisper
and mutter ,
shouldn’t
a people consult
their God instead
? Why
consult
the
dead
on
behalf
of
the living?
And
when they
shall
say
unto
you ,
Seek
unto
them
that
have
familiar
spirits ,
and unto
wizards
that
peep,
and that
mutter :
should
not
a people seek
unto
their God? for
the living to
the
dead
?
To the law and to the testimony !
If they do
not
speak according to this word, they
have
no light of
dawn
.
To the law and to the testimony :
if they speak not
according to this word, it
is
because
there
is
no light in
them
.
They will
roam
the
land
, dejected
and hungry .
When they are
famished
, they will
become
enraged;
and
looking
upward
, they
will
curse their king and their God.
And
they shall
pass
through
it
, hardly
bestead
and hungry :
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
when they shall
be
hungry
, they shall
fret
themselves
, and
curse their king and their God ,
and
look
upward
.
Then
they will
look to
the earth and see
only
distress
and darkness and
the
gloom
of anguish .
And they will
be driven into
utter
darkness.
And
they shall
look unto
the earth ;
and behold
trouble
and darkness ,
dimness
of anguish ;
and they shall
be driven to
darkness.
