Isaiah 8:3

Chapter 8

Assyria, the LORD's Instrument

1The LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz means quick to the plunder, swift to the spoil; also in verse 3.2And I will call in Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah as reliable witnesses for me.”

3Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.

4Before the boy knows how to say ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”

5The LORD spoke to me again:

6“Because this people has rejected
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah
and rejoices over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,

7therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
the mighty floodwaters of the RiverThat is, the Euphrates—
the king of Assyria with all his pomp.
It will overflow all its channels,
run over all its banks

8and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,
passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings will cover the breadth of your land,
O ImmanuelImmanuel means God with us.!”

9Raise the war cry,Or Do your worst you nations, and be shattered!
Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
Prepare for battle, and be shattered!

10Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted;
propose your plan, but it will not stand,
for God is with us.Hebrew Immanuel
