1 -Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 -And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
3 -And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4 -For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”
5 -And the LORD spoke to me further:
6 -“Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
7 -the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates—the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.
8 -It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!
9 -Huddle together, O peoples, and be shattered; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for battle, and be shattered; prepare for battle, and be shattered!
10 -Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”
11 -For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
12 -“Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.
13 -The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.
14 -And He will be a sanctuary—but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.
15 -Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”
16 -Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.
17 -I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.
18 -Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
19 -When men tell you to consult the spirits of the dead and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 -To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.
21 -They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God.
22 -Then they will look to the earth and see only distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish. And they will be driven into utter darkness.
