[1]Moreover the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto me, TakeH3947[H8798] thee a greatH1419 rollH1549, and writeH3789[H8798] in it with a man'sH582 penH2747 concerning MahershalalhashbazH4122.
[2]And I tookH5749 unto me faithfulH539[H8737] witnessesH5707 to recordH5749[H8686], UriahH223 the priestH3548, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeberechiahH3000.
[3]And I wentH7126[H8799] unto the prophetessH5031; and she conceivedH2029[H8799], and bareH3205[H8799] a sonH1121. Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068 to me, CallH7121[H8798] his nameH8034 MahershalalhashbazH4122.
[4]For before the childH5288 shall have knowledgeH3045[H8799] to cryH7121[H8800], My fatherH1, and my motherH517, the richesH2428 of DamascusH1834 and the spoilH7998 of SamariaH8111 shall be taken awayH5375[H8799] beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
[5]The LORDH3068 spakeH1696[H8763] also unto me againH3254[H8686], sayingH559,[H8800]
[6]ForasmuchH3282 as this peopleH5971 refusethH3988[H8804] the watersH4325 of ShiloahH7975 that goH1980[H8802] softlyH328, and rejoiceH4885 in RezinH7526 and Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121;
[7]Now therefore, behold, the LordH136 bringeth upH5927[H8688] upon them the watersH4325 of the riverH5104, strongH6099 and manyH7227, even the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and all his gloryH3519: and he shall come upH5927[H8804] over all his channelsH650, and go overH1980[H8804] all his banksH1415:
[8]And he shall passH2498[H8804] through JudahH3063; he shall overflowH7857[H8804] and go overH5674[H8804], he shall reachH5060[H8686] even to the neckH6677; and the stretching outH4298 of his wingsH3671 shall fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of thy landH776, O ImmanuelH6005.[H410]
[9]AssociateH7489[H8798] yourselves, O ye peopleH5971, and ye shall be broken in piecesH2865[H8798]; and give earH238[H8685], allH3605 ye of farH4801 countriesH776: girdH247[H8690] yourselves, and ye shall be broken in piecesH2865[H8798]; girdH247[H8690] yourselves, and ye shall be broken in piecesH2865.[H8798]
[10]TakeH5779 counselH6098 togetherH5779[H8798], and it shall come to noughtH6565[H8714]; speakH1696[H8761] the wordH1697, and it shall not standH6965[H8799]: for God is with usH410.
[11]For the LORDH3068 spakeH559[H8804] thus to me with a strongH2393 handH3027, and instructedH3256[H8765] me that I should not walkH3212[H8800] in the wayH1870 of this peopleH5971, sayingH559,[H8800]
[12]SayH559[H8799] ye not, A confederacyH7195, to all them to whom this peopleH5971 shall sayH559[H8799], A confederacyH7195; neither fearH3372[H8799] ye their fearH4172, nor be afraidH6206.[H8686]
[13]SanctifyH6942[H8686] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 himself; and let him be your fearH4172, and let him be your dreadH6206.[H8688]
[14]And he shall be for a sanctuaryH4720; but for a stoneH68 of stumblingH5063 and for a rockH6697 of offenceH4383 to bothH8147 the housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, for a ginH6341 and for a snareH4170 to the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389.
[15]And manyH7227 among them shall stumbleH3782[H8804], and fallH5307[H8804], and be brokenH7665[H8738], and be snaredH3369[H8738], and be takenH3920.[H8738]
[16]Bind upH6887[H8798] the testimonyH8584, sealH2856[H8798] the lawH8451 among my disciplesH3928.
[17]And I will waitH2442[H8765] upon the LORDH3068, that hidethH5641[H8688] his faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and I will lookH6960 for himH8765.
[18]Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414[H8804] me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH7931[H8802] in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
[19]And when they shall sayH559[H8799] unto you, SeekH1875[H8798] unto them that have familiar spiritsH178, and unto wizardsH3049 that peepH6850[H8772], and that mutterH1897[H8688]: should not a peopleH5971 seekH1875[H8799] unto their GodH430? for the livingH2416 to the deadH4191?[H8801]
[20]To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584: if they speakH559[H8799] not according to this wordH1697, it is because there is no light in themH7837.
[21]And they shall passH5674[H8804] through it, hardly besteadH7185[H8737] and hungryH7457: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungryH7456[H8799], they shall fretH7107[H8694] themselves, and curseH7043[H8765] their kingH4428 and their GodH430, and lookH6437[H8804] upwardH4605.
[22]And they shall lookH5027[H8686] unto the earthH776; and behold troubleH6869 and darknessH2825, dimnessH4588 of anguishH6695; and they shall be drivenH5080[H8794] to darknessH653.
