\v 1 Yahweh said to me, "Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
|
|
\v 2 I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
|
|
\v 4 For before the child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
|

\p
|
|
\v 5 Yahweh spoke to me again,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 "Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah,
|
|
\q1 and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah's son,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory.
|
|
\q1 It will come up over all its channels and overflow its banks.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck.
|
|
\q1 Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries:
|
|
\q1 arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out,
|
|
\q1 for God is with us.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 11 Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy,
|
|
\q1 you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must dread.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling—
|
|
\q1 for both the houses of Israel. And he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will wait for him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel
|
|
\q1 from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 19 They will say to you, "Consult with the mediums and magicians," those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
|
|
\v 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry
|
|
\q1 and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 They will look at the earth
|
|
\q1 and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
