Isaiah 8

1 In Maher-shalal-hash-baz he prophesieth that Syria and Israel shall be subdued by Assyria. 5 Judah likewise for their infidelity. 9 God's judgments shall be unresistible. 11 Comfort shall be to them that fear God. 19 Great afflictions to idolaters.

 8:1 ¶ Moreover the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Take 3947 z8798 thee a great 1419 roll, 1549 and write 3789 z8798 in x5921 it with a man's 582 pen 2747 concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 4122

 8:2 And I took y5749 z0 unto me faithful 539 z8737 witnesses 5707 to record, 5749 z8686 x853 Uriah 223 the priest, 3548 and Zechariah 2148 the son 1121 of Jeberechiah. 3000

 8:3 And I went 7126 z8799 unto x413 the prophetess; 5031 and she conceived, 2029 z8799 and bore 3205 z8799 a son. 1121 Then said 559 z8799 the LORD 3068 to x413 me, Call 7121 z8798 his name 8034 Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 4122

 8:4 For x3588 before x2962 the child 5288 shall have knowledge 3045 z8799 to cry, 7121 z8800 My father, 1 and my mother, 517 x853 the riches 2428 of Damascus 1834 and the spoil 7998 of Samaria 8111 shall be taken away 5375 z8799 before 6440 the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

 8:5 ¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 z8763 also unto x413 me again, 3254 z8686 saying, 559 z8800

 8:6 Forasmuch 3282 x3588 as this x2088 people 5971 refuseth 3988 z8804 x853 the waters 4325 of Shiloah 7975 that go 1980 z8802 softly, 328 and rejoice y4885 in x4885 x853 Rezin 7526 and Remaliah's 7425 son; 1121

 8:7 Now therefore, x3651 behold, x2009 the Lord 136 bringeth up 5927 z8688 upon x5921 them x853 the waters 4325 of the river, 5104 strong 6099 and many, 7227 [even] x853 the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 and all x3605 his glory: 3519 and he shall come up 5927 z8804 over x5921 all x3605 his channels, 650 and go x1980 over y1980 z8804 x5921 all x3605 his banks: 1415

 8:8 And he shall pass 2498 z8804 through Judah; 3063 he shall overflow 7857 z8804 and go over, 5674 z8804 he shall reach 5060 z8686 [even] to x5704 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 y410

 8:9 ¶ Associate 7489 z8798 yourselves, O ye people, 5971 and ye shall be broken x2844 in pieces; y2865 z8798 and give ear, 238 z8685 all 3605 ye of far 4801 countries: 776 gird y247 z8690 yourselves, x247 and ye shall be broken x2844 in pieces; y2865 z8798 gird y247 z8690 yourselves, x247 and ye shall be broken x2844 in pieces. y2865 z8798

 8:10 Take y5779 z0 counsel y6098 together 5779 z8798 x6098 and it shall come to naught; 6565 z8714 speak 1696 z8761 the word, 1697 and it shall not x3808 stand: 6965 z8799 for x3588 God 410 [is] with us. x5973

 8:11 ¶ For x3588 the LORD 3068 spoke 559 z8804 thus x3541 to x413 me with a strong 2393 hand, 3027 and instructed 3256 z8765 me that I should not walk y3212 z8800 x4480 x1980 in the way 1870 of this x2088 people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800

 8:12 Say 559 z8799 ye not, x3808 A confederacy, 7195 to all x3605 [them to] whom x834 this x2088 people 5971 shall say, 559 z8799 A confederacy; 7195 neither x3808 fear 3372 z8799 ye their fear, 4172 nor x3808 be afraid. 6206 z8686

 8:13 Sanctify 6942 z8686 x853 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 himself; and [let] him x1931 [be] your fear, 4172 and [let] him x1931 [be] your dread. 6206 z8688

 8:14 And he shall be x1961 for a sanctuary; 4720 but for a stone 68 of stumbling 5063 and for a rock 6697 of offense 4383 to both 8147 the houses 1004 of Israel, 3478 for a gin 6341 and for a snare 4170 to the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem. 3389

 8:15 And many 7227 among them shall stumble, 3782 z8804 and fall, 5307 z8804 and be broken, 7665 z8738 and be snared, 3369 z8738 and be taken. 3920 z8738

 8:16 Bind up 6887 z8798 the testimony, 8584 seal 2856 z8798 the law 8451 among my disciples. 3928

 8:17 And I will wait 2442 z8765 upon the LORD, 3068 that hideth 5641 z8688 his face 6440 from the house 1004 x4480 of Jacob, 3290 and I will look 6960 z8765 for him.

 8:18 Behold, x2009 I x595 and the children 3206 whom x834 the LORD 3068 hath given 5414 z8804 me [are] for signs 226 and for wonders 4159 in Israel 3478 from x4480 x5973 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 which dwelleth 7931 z8802 in mount 2022 Zion. 6726

 8:19 ¶ And when x3588 they shall say 559 z8799 unto x413 you, Seek 1875 z8798 unto x413 them that have familiar spirits, 178 and unto x413 wizards 3049 that peep, 6850 z8772 and that mutter: 1897 z8688 should not x3808 a people 5971 seek 1875 z8799 unto x413 their God? 430 for x1157 the living 2416 to x413 the dead? 4191 z8801

 8:20 To the law 8451 and to the testimony: 8584 if x518 they speak 559 z8799 not x3808 according to this x2088 word, 1697 [it is] because x834 [there is] no x369 light 7837 in them.

 8:21 And they shall pass 5674 z8804 through it, hard pressed 7185 z8737 and hungry: y7457 x745 and it shall come to pass, x1961 that when x3588 they shall be hungry, 7456 z8799 they shall fret y7107 z8694 themselves, x7107 and curse 7043 z8765 their king 4428 and their God, 430 and look 6437 z8804 upward. 4605

 8:22 And they shall look 5027 z8686 unto x413 the earth; 776 and behold x2009 trouble 6869 and darkness, 2825 dimness 4588 of anguish; 6695 and [they shall be] driven 5080 z8794 to darkness. 653
