Isaiah 8:1–8

Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great aroll, and bwrite in it with ca man’s pen concerning †Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, dUriah the priest, and eZechariah 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 Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 4 fFor before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, ||fthe riches of gDamascus and the spoil of hSamaria 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 iShiloah that go softly,

And rejoice in kRezin and Remaliah’s son;

7  Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them

lThe waters of llthe river, strong and many,

Even mthe 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 nooverflow and ogo over,

He shall reach even nto the neck;

And †qthe stretching out of rhis wings shall fill sthe breadth of thy land, O tImmanuel.
