008:001

And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah

008:002

And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz

008:003

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria

008:004

The LORD spake also unto me again, saying

008:005

Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son

008:006

Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks

008:007

And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel

008:008

Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces

008:009

Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us

008:010

For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying

008:011

Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid

008:012

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread

008:013

And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem

008:014

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken

008:015

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples

008:016

And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him

008:017

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion

008:018

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead

008:019

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them

008:020

And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward

008:021

And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness
