1And the LORD said to me, Take for yourself a large tablet and write upon it with a human stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.2And I will call faithful witnesses to testify for myself: Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.3And I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. And the LORD said to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.4For before the youth knows how to call my father and my mother, he will carry away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria before the king of Assyria.5And the LORD spoke to me again, saying,6Because this people has rejected the waters of Shiloah that flow gently and rejoices with Rezin and the son of Remaliah.7therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, namely the king of Assyria and all his glory; and it will rise over all its channels and flow over all its banks.8And it will sweep through Judah; it will overflow and pass on until it reaches the neck, and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.9Be broken, O peoples, and be dismayed; listen, all you distant lands: gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed.10Devise a plan, and it will be frustrated; speak a word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.
