1 More­over the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen con­cern­ing Ma­her­sha­lal­hash­baz. 2 And I took unto me faith­ful wit­ness­es to record, Uri­ah the priest, and Zechari­ah the son of Je­berechi­ah. 3 And I went unto the prophet­ess; and she con­ceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Ma­her­sha­lal­hash­baz. 4 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. 5 The LORD spake also unto me again, say­ing, 6 Foras­much as this peo­ple re­fuseth the wa­ters of Shiloah that go soft­ly, and re­joice in Rezin and Remaliah's son; 7 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: 8 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. 9 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. 10 Take coun­sel to­geth­er, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 11 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, 12 Say ye not, A con­fed­er­a­cy, to all them to whom this peo­ple shall say, A con­fed­er­a­cy; nei­ther fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 Sanc­ti­fy the LORD of hosts him­self; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 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. 15 And many among them shall stum­ble, and fall, and be bro­ken, and be snared, and be tak­en. 16 Bind up the tes­ti­mo­ny, seal the law among my dis­ci­ples. 17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Ja­cob, and I will look for him. 18 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. 19 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? 20 To the law and to the tes­ti­mo­ny: if they speak not ac­cord­ing to this word, it is be­cause there is no light in them. 21 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. 22 And they shall look unto the earth; and be­hold trou­ble and dark­ness, dim­ness of an­guish; and they shall be driv­en to dark­ness.
