2 And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, aUriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”
3 Then 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;
4 afor before the child shall have knowledge to cry ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ bthe riches of Damascus and the2 spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria.”
6 “Inasmuch as these people refused
The waters of aShiloah that flow softly,
And rejoice bin Rezin and in Remaliah’s son;
The waters of aShiloah that flow softly,
And rejoice bin Rezin and in Remaliah’s son;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them
The waters of1 the River, strong and mighty—
The king of Assyria and all his glory;
He will1 go up over all his channels
And go over all his banks.
The waters of1 the River, strong and mighty—
The king of Assyria and all his glory;
He will1 go up over all his channels
And go over all his banks.
8 He will1 pass through Judah,
He will overflow and pass over,
aHe will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will fill the breadth of Your land, O bImmanuel.
He will overflow and pass over,
aHe will reach up to the neck;
And the stretching out of his wings
Will fill the breadth of Your land, O bImmanuel.
9 “Bea shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces!
Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces;
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
