Isaiah 8:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 8:5

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.”

5 The Lord also spoke to me again, saying:

6 “Inasmuch as these people refused
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.

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.
