Moreover the LORDsaiduntome, Takethee a greatroll, and writeinit with a man's penconcerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz. And I took unto me faithfulwitnessesto record, Uriahthe priest, and Zechariahthe sonof Jeberechiah. And I wentuntothe prophetess; and she conceived, and borea son. Then saidthe LORDtome, Callhis nameMaher-shalal-hash-baz. Forbeforethe childshall have knowledgeto cry, My father, and my mother, the richesof Damascusand the spoilof Samariashall be taken awaybeforethe kingof Assyria. The LORDspokealso untome again, saying, Forasmuchas thispeoplerefuseththe watersof Shiloahthat gosoftly, and rejoice inRezinand Remaliah's son; Now therefore, behold, the Lordbringeth upuponthem the watersof the river, strongand many, even the kingof Assyria, and allhis glory: and he shall come upoverallhis channels, and gooverallhis banks: And he shall passthrough Judah; he shall overflowand go over, he shall reach even tothe neck; and the stretching outof his wingsshall fillthe breadthof thy land, O Immanuel. Associateyourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be brokenin pieces; and give ear, allye of farcountries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be brokenin pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be brokenin pieces. Take counsel togetherand it shall come to naught; speakthe word, and it shall notstand: forGod is with us. Forthe LORDspokethustome with a stronghand, and instructedme that I should not walkin the wayof thispeople, saying, Sayye not, A confederacy, to all them to whomthispeopleshall say, A confederacy; neitherfearye their fear, norbe afraid. Sanctifythe LORDof hostshimself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall befor a sanctuary; but for a stoneof stumblingand for a rockof offenseto boththe housesof Israel, for a ginand for a snareto the inhabitantsof Jerusalem. And manyamong them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind upthe testimony, sealthe lawamong my disciples. And I will waitupon the LORD, that hidethhis facefrom the houseof Jacob, and I will lookfor him. Behold, Iand the childrenwhomthe LORDhath givenme are for signsand for wondersin Israelfromthe LORDof hosts, which dwellethin mountZion. And whenthey shall sayuntoyou, Seekuntothem that have familiar spirits, and untowizardsthat peep, and that mutter: should nota peopleseekuntotheir God? forthe livingtothe dead? To the lawand to the testimony: ifthey speaknotaccording to thisword, it is because there is nolightin them. And they shall passthrough it, hard pressedand hungry: and it shall come to pass, that whenthey shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and cursetheir kingand their God, and lookupward. And they shall lookuntothe earth; and beholdtroubleand darkness, dimnessof anguish; and they shall be drivento darkness.
