Isaiah 8 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD told me, "Take a large tablet and inscribe these words on it with an ordinary stylus: 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
2 Then I will summon as my reliable witnesses Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah."
3 I then had sexual relations with the prophetess; she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD told me, "Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz,
4 for before the child knows how to cry out, 'My father' or 'My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria."
5 The LORD spoke to me again:
6 "These people have rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and melt in fear over Rezin and the son of Remaliah.
7 So look, the sovereign master is bringing up against them the turbulent and mighty waters of the Euphrates River� the king of Assyria and all his majestic power. It will reach flood stage and overflow its banks.
8 It will spill into Judah, flooding and engulfing, as it reaches to the necks of its victims. He will spread his wings out over your entire land, O Immanuel."
9 You will be broken, O nations; you will be shattered! Pay attention, all you distant lands of the earth! Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered! Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!
10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted! Issue your orders, but they will not be executed! For God is with us!
11 Indeed this is what the LORD told me. He took hold of me firmly and warned me not to act like these people:
12 "Do not say, 'Conspiracy,' every time these people say the word. Don't be afraid of what scares them; don't be terrified.
13 You must recognize the authority of the LORD who commands armies. He is the one you must respect; he is the one you must fear.
14 He will become a sanctuary, but a stone that makes a person trip, and a rock that makes one stumble� to the two houses of Israel. He will become a trap and a snare to the residents of Jerusalem.
15 Many will stumble over the stone and the rock, and will fall and be seriously injured, and will be ensnared and captured."
16 Tie up the scroll as legal evidence, seal the official record of God's instructions and give it to my followers.
17 I will wait patiently for the LORD, who has rejected the family of Jacob; I will wait for him.
18 Look, I and the sons whom the LORD has given me are reminders and object lessons in Israel, sent from the LORD who commands armies, who lives on Mount Zion.
19 They will say to you, "Seek oracles at the pits used to conjure up underworld spirits, from the magicians who chirp and mutter incantations. Should people not seek oracles from their gods, by asking the dead about the destiny of the living?"
20 Then you must recall the LORD's instructions and the prophetic testimony of what would happen. Certainly they say such things because their minds are spiritually darkened.
21 They will pass through the land destitute and starving. Their hunger will make them angry, and they will curse their king and their God as they look upward.
22 When one looks out over the land, he sees distress and darkness, gloom and anxiety, darkness and people forced from the land.
1 Moreover the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Take H3947 thee a great H1419 roll, H1549 and write H3789 in H5921 it with a man's H582 pen H2747 concerning Maher- H4122 shalal-hash-baz.
2 And I took 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 bore H3205 a son. H1121 Then said H559 the LORD H3068 to H413 me, Call H7121 his name H8034 Maher- H4122 shalal-hash-baz.
4 For H3588 before H2962 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 spoke H1696 also unto H413 me again, H3254 saying, H559
6 Forasmuch H3282 H3588 as this H2088 people H5971 refuseth H3988 H853 the waters H4325 of Shiloah H7975 that go H1980 softly, H328 and rejoice in H4885 H853 Rezin H7526 and Remaliah's H7425 son; H1121
7 Now therefore, H3651 behold, H2009 the Lord H136 bringeth up H5927 upon H5921 them H853 the waters H4325 of the river, H5104 strong H6099 and many, H7227 even H853 the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and all H3605 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 H5704 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
9 Associate H7489 yourselves , O ye people, H5971 and ye shall be broken H2844 in pieces ; and give ear, H238 all H3605 ye of far H4801 countries: H776 gird yourselves, H247 and ye shall be broken H2844 in pieces ; gird yourselves, H247 and ye shall be broken H2844 in pieces.
10 Take counsel together H5779 H6098 and it shall come to naught; H6565 speak H1696 the word, H1697 and it shall not H3808 stand: H6965 for H3588 God H410 is with us. H5973
11 For H3588 the LORD H3068 spoke H559 thus H3541 to H413 me with a strong H2393 hand, H3027 and instructed H3256 me that I should not walk H4480 H1980 in the way H1870 of this H2088 people, H5971 saying, H559
12 Say H559 ye not, H3808 A confederacy, H7195 to all H3605 them to whom H834 this H2088 people H5971 shall say, H559 A confederacy; H7195 neither H3808 fear H3372 ye their fear, H4172 nor H3808 be afraid. H6206
13 Sanctify H6942 H853 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 himself ; and let him H1931 be your fear, H4172 and let him H1931 be your dread. H6206
14 And he shall be H1961 for a sanctuary; H4720 but for a stone H68 of stumbling H5063 and for a rock H6697 of offense 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 H4480 H1004 of Jacob, H3290 and I will look H6960 for him.
18 Behold H2009 , I H595 and the children H3206 whom H834 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 me are for signs H226 and for wonders H4159 in Israel H3478 from H4480 H5973 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 which dwelleth H7931 in mount H2022 Zion. H6726
19 And when H3588 they shall say H559 unto H413 you, Seek H1875 unto H413 them that have familiar spirits, H178 and unto H413 wizards H3049 that peep, H6850 and that mutter: H1897 should not H3808 a people H5971 seek H1875 unto H413 their God H430 ? for H1157 the living H2416 to H413 the dead H4191 ?
20 To the law H8451 and to the testimony: H8584 if H518 they speak H559 not H3808 according to this H2088 word, H1697 it is because H834 there is no H369 light H7837 in them.
21 And they shall pass H5674 through it , hard pressed H7185 and hungry: H745 and it shall come to pass, H1961 that when H3588 they shall be hungry, H7456 they shall fret themselves, H7107 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 H2009 trouble H6869 and darkness, H2825 dimness H4588 of anguish; H6695 and they shall be driven H5080 to darkness. H653
