8:1 Moreover the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto me, Take 3947 8798 thee a great 1419 roll 1549, and write 3789 8798 in it with a man's 582 pen 2747 concerning Mahershalalhashbaz 4122.(Mahershalalhashbaz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc)

8:2 And I took 5749 0 unto me faithful 539 8737 witnesses 5707 to record 5749 8686, Uriah 223 the priest 3548, and Zechariah 2148 the son 1121 of Jeberechiah 3000.

8:3 And I went 7126 8799 unto the prophetess 5031; and she conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121. Then said 559 8799 the LORD 3068 to me, Call 7121 8798 his name 8034 Mahershalalhashbaz 4122.(went: Heb. approached)

8:4 For before the child 5288 shall have knowledge 3045 8799 to cry 7121 8800, My father 1, and my mother 517, the riches 2428 of Damascus 1834 and the spoil 7998 of Samaria 8111 shall be taken away 5375 8799 before 6440 the king 4428 of Assyria 804.(the riches…: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc)

8:5 The LORD 3068 spake 1696 8763 also unto me again 3254 8686, saying 559 8800,

8:6 Forasmuch 3282 as this people 5971 refuseth 3988 8804 the waters 4325 of Shiloah 7975 that go 1980 8802 softly 328, and rejoice 4885 in Rezin 7526 and Remaliah's 7425 son 1121;

8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord 136 bringeth up 5927 8688 upon them the waters 4325 of the river 5104, strong 6099 and many 7227, [even] the king 4428 of Assyria 804, and all his glory 3519: and he shall come up 5927 8804 over all his channels 650, and go over 1980 8804 all his banks 1415:

8:8 And he shall pass 2498 8804 through Judah 3063; he shall overflow 7857 8804 and go over 5674 8804, he shall reach 5060 8686 [even] to the neck 6677; and the stretching out 4298 of his wings 3671 shall fill 4393 the breadth 7341 of thy land 776, O Immanuel 6005 410.(stretching…: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings)

8:9 Associate 7489 8798 yourselves, O ye people 5971, and ye shall be broken in pieces 2865 8798; and give ear 238 8685, all 3605 ye of far 4801 countries 776: gird 247 8690 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces 2865 8798; gird 247 8690 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces 2865 8798.(people and: or, people, yet)

8:10 Take 5779 0 counsel 6098 together 5779 8798, and it shall come to nought 6565 8714; speak 1696 8761 the word 1697, and it shall not stand 6965 8799: for God 410 [is] with us.

8:11 For the LORD 3068 spake 559 8804 thus to me with a strong 2393 hand 3027, and instructed 3256 8765 me that I should not walk 3212 8800 in the way 1870 of this people 5971, saying 559 8800,(with…: Heb. in strength of hand)

8:12 Say 559 8799 ye not, A confederacy 7195, to all [them to] whom this people 5971 shall say 559 8799, A confederacy 7195; neither fear 3372 8799 ye their fear 4172, nor be afraid 6206 8686.

8:13 Sanctify 6942 8686 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 himself; and [let] him [be] your fear 4172, and [let] him [be] your dread 6206 8688.

8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary 4720; but for a stone 68 of stumbling 5063 and for a rock 6697 of offence 4383 to both 8147 the houses 1004 of Israel 3478, for a gin 6341 and for a snare 4170 to the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389.

8:15 And many 7227 among them shall stumble 3782 8804, and fall 5307 8804, and be broken 7665 8738, and be snared 3369 8738, and be taken 3920 8738.

8:16 Bind up 6887 8798 the testimony 8584, seal 2856 8798 the law 8451 among my disciples 3928.

8:17 And I will wait 2442 8765 upon the LORD 3068, that hideth 5641 8688 his face 6440 from the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, and I will look 6960 8765 for him.

8:18 Behold, I and the children 3206 whom the LORD 3068 hath given 5414 8804 me [are] for signs 226 and for wonders 4159 in Israel 3478 from the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, which dwelleth 7931 8802 in mount 2022 Zion 6726.

8:19 And when they shall say 559 8799 unto you, Seek 1875 8798 unto them that have familiar spirits 178, and unto wizards 3049 that peep 6850 8772, and that mutter 1897 8688: should not a people 5971 seek 1875 8799 unto their God 430? for the living 2416 to the dead 4191 8801?

8:20 To the law 8451 and to the testimony 8584: if they speak 559 8799 not according to this word 1697, [it is] because [there is] no light 7837 in them.(no…: Heb. no morning)

8:21 And they shall pass 5674 8804 through it, hardly bestead 7185 8737 and hungry 7457: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry 7456 8799, they shall fret 7107 8694 themselves, and curse 7043 8765 their king 4428 and their God 430, and look 6437 8804 upward 4605.
