[1] Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;ⓘ [2] and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.” [3] I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’ [4] For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.” [5] Yahweh spoke to me yet again, saying, [6] “Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son; [7] now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks. [8] It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel. [9] Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered! [10] Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.” [11] For Yahweh spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, [12] “Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized. [13] Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread. [14] He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare. [15] Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.” [16] Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples. [17] I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. [18] Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion. [19] When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? [20] Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. [21] They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward, [22] then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.

King James Version
[1] Moreover the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Take H3947 thee a great H1419 roll, H1549 and write H3789 in it with a man’s H582 pen H2747 concerning H5921 Mahershalalhashbaz. H4122§ [2] And I took H5749 unto me faithful H539 witnesses H5707 to record, H5749 H853 Uriah H223 the priest, H3548 and Zechariah H2148 the son H1121 of Jeberechiah. H3000 [3] And I went H7126 unto H413§ the prophetess; H5031 and she conceived, H2029 and bare H3205 a son. H1121 Then said H559 the Lord H3068 to me, Call H7121 his name H8034 Mahershalalhashbaz. H4122 [4] For H3588 before the child H5288 shall have knowledge H3045 to cry, H7121 My father, H1 and my mother, H517 H853 the riches H2428 of Damascus H1834 and the spoil H7998 of Samaria H8111 shall be taken away H5375 before H6440 the king H4428 of Assyria. H804 [5] The Lord H3068 spake H1696 also unto me again, H3254 saying, H559 [6] Forasmuch H3282 as this people H5971 refuseth H3988 H853 the waters H4325 of Shiloah H7975 that go H1980 softly, H328 and rejoice H4885 H853 in Rezin H7526 and Remaliah’s H7425 son; H1121 [7] now therefore, behold, the Lord H136 bringeth up H5927 H853 upon H5921 them the waters H4325 of the river, H5104 strong H6099 and many, H7227 H853 even the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and all his glory: H3519 and he shall come up H5927 over H5921 all H3605 his channels, H650 and go H1980 over H5921 all H3605 his banks: H1415 [8] and he shall pass H2498 through Judah; H3063 he shall overflow H7857 and go over, H5674 he shall reach H5060 even to the neck; H6677 and the stretching out H4298 of his wings H3671 shall fill H4393 the breadth H7341 of thy land, H776§ O Immanuel. H6005 H410 [9] Associate H7489 yourselves, O ye people, H5971 and ye§ shall be broken in pieces; H2865 and give ear, H238 all H3605 ye of far H4801 countries: H776 gird H247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; H2865 gird H247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. H2865 [10] Take H5779 counsel H6098 together, H5779 and it shall come to nought; H6565 speak H1696 the word, H1697 and it shall not stand: H6965 for H3588 God H410 is with us. [11] For H3588 the Lord H3068 spake H559 thus H3541 to me with a strong H2393 hand, H3027§ and instructed H3256 me that I should not walk H3212 in the way H1870 of this people, H5971 saying, H559 [12] Say H559 ye not, A confederacy, H7195 to all them to whom this people H5971 shall say, H559 A confederacy; H7195 neither fear H3372 ye their fear, H4172 nor be afraid. H6206 [13] Sanctify H6942 H853 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 himself; and let him be your fear, H4172 and let him be your dread. H6206 [14] And he shall be for a sanctuary; H4720 but for a stone H68 of stumbling H5063 and for a rock H6697 of offence H4383 to both H8147 the houses H1004 of Israel, H3478 for a gin H6341 and for a snare H4170 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389 [15] And many H7227 among them shall stumble, H3782 and fall, H5307 and be broken, H7665 and be snared, H3369 and be taken. H3920 [16] Bind up H6887 the testimony, H8584 seal H2856 the law H8451 among my disciples. H3928 [17] And I will wait H2442 upon the Lord, H3068 that hideth H5641 his face H6440 from the house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 and I will look H6960 for him. [18] Behold, I and the children H3206 whom the Lord H3068 hath given H5414 me are for signs H226 and for wonders H4159 in Israel H3478 from the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 which dwelleth H7931 in mount H2022 Zion. H6726 [19] And when they shall say H559 unto H413 you, Seek H1875 unto H413 them that have familiar spirits, H178 and unto wizards H3049 that peep, H6850 and that mutter: H1897 should H5971 not H3808 a people H5971 seek H1875 unto H413 their God? H430 for H3588 the living H2416 to the dead? H4191 [20] To the law H8451 and to the testimony: H8584 if they speak H559 not according to this word, H1697 it is because there is no light H7837§ in them. [21] And they shall pass H5674 through it, hardly bestead H7185 and hungry: H7457 and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, H7456 they shall fret H7107 themselves, and curse H7043 their king H4428 and their God, H430 and look H6437 upward. H4605 [22] And they shall look H5027 unto H413 the earth; H776 and behold trouble H6869 and darkness, H2825 dimness H4588 of anguish; H6695 and they shall be driven H5080 to darkness. H653
