8:1 Then
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Take
a
large
tablet
and
write
on
it
in
common
characters,
'Belonging
to
Maher-shalal-hash-baz.'
8:2 And
I
will
get
reliable
witnesses,
Uriah
the
priest
and
Zechariah
the
son
of
Jeberechiah,
to
attest
for
me."
8:3 And
I
went
to
the
prophetess,
and
she
conceived
and
bore
a
son.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Call
his
name
Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
8:4 for
before
the
boy
knows
how
to
cry
'My
father'
or
'My
mother,'
the
wealth
of
Damascus
and
the
spoil
of
Samaria
will
be
carried
away
before
the
king
of
Assyria."
8:5 The
LORD
spoke
to
me
again:
8:6 "Because
this
people
has
refused
the
waters
of
Shiloah
that
flow
gently,
and
rejoice
over
Rezin
and
the
son
of
Remaliah,
8:7 therefore,
behold,
the
Lord
is
bringing
up
against
them
the
waters
of
the
River,
mighty
and
many,
the
king
of
Assyria
and
all
his
glory.
And
it
will
rise
over
all
its
channels
and
go
over
all
its
banks,
8:8 and
it
will
sweep
on
into
Judah,
it
will
overflow
and
pass
on,
reaching
even
to
the
neck,
and
its
outspread
wings
will
fill
the
breadth
of
your
land,
O
Immanuel."
8:9 Be
broken,
you
peoples,
and
be
shattered;
give
ear,
all
you
far
countries;
strap
on
your
armor
and
be
shattered;
strap
on
your
armor
and
be
shattered.
8:10 Take
counsel
together,
but
it
will
come
to
nothing;
speak
a
word,
but
it
will
not
stand,
for
God
is
with
us.
8:11 For
the
LORD
spoke
thus
to
me
with
his
strong
hand
upon
me,
and
warned
me
not
to
walk
in
the
way
of
this
people,
saying:
8:12 "Do
not
call
conspiracy
all
that
this
people
calls
conspiracy,
and
do
not
fear
what
they
fear,
nor
be
in
dread.
8:13 But
the
LORD
of
hosts,
him
you
shall
honor
as
holy.
Let
him
be
your
fear,
and
let
him
be
your
dread.
8:14 And
he
will
become
a
sanctuary
and
a
stone
of
offense
and
a
rock
of
stumbling
to
both
houses
of
Israel,
a
trap
and
a
snare
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
8:15 And
many
shall
stumble
on
it.
They
shall
fall
and
be
broken;
they
shall
be
snared
and
taken."
8:16 Bind
up
the
testimony;
seal
the
teaching
among
my
disciples.
8:17 I
will
wait
for
the
LORD,
who
is
hiding
his
face
from
the
house
of
Jacob,
and
I
will
hope
in
him.
8:18 Behold,
I
and
the
children
whom
the
LORD
has
given
me
are
signs
and
portents
in
Israel
from
the
LORD
of
hosts,
who
dwells
on
Mount
Zion.
8:19 And
when
they
say
to
you,
"Inquire
of
the
mediums
and
the
necromancers
who
chirp
and
mutter,"
should
not
a
people
inquire
of
their
God
Should
they
inquire
of
the
dead
on
behalf
of
the
living
8:20 To
the
teaching
and
to
the
testimony!
If
they
will
not
speak
according
to
this
word,
it
is
because
they
have
no
dawn.
8:21 They
will
pass
through
the
land,
greatly
distressed
and
hungry.
And
when
they
are
hungry,
they
will
be
enraged
and
will
speak
contemptuously
against
their
king
and
their
God,
and
turn
their
faces
upward.
8:22 And
they
will
look
to
the
earth,
but
behold,
distress
and
darkness,
the
gloom
of
anguish.
And
they
will
be
thrust
into
thick
darkness.
