1	Moreover the LORD said# unto me, Take# thee a great roll, and write# in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. [Mahershalalhashbaz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc]
			2	And I took# unto me faithful# witnesses to record# , Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
			3	And I went# unto the prophetess; and she conceived# , and bare# a son. Then said# the LORD to me, Call# his name Mahershalalhashbaz. [went: Heb. approached]
			4	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. [the riches...: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc]
			5	The LORD spake# also unto me again# , saying# ,
			6	Forasmuch as this people refuseth# the waters of Shiloah that go# softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
			7	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:
			8	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# . [stretching...: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings]
			9	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# . [people and: or, people, yet]
			10	Take# counsel together# , and it shall come to nought# ; speak# the word, and it shall not stand# : for God is with us.
			11	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# , [with...: Heb. in strength of hand]
			12	Say# ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say# , A confederacy; neither fear# ye their fear, nor be afraid# .
			13	Sanctify# the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread# .
			14	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.
			15	And many among them shall stumble# , and fall# , and be broken# , and be snared# , and be taken# .
			16	Bind up# the testimony, seal# the law among my disciples.
			17	And I will wait# upon the LORD, that hideth# his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look# for him.
			18	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.
			19	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# ?
			20	To the law and to the testimony: if they speak# not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. [no...: Heb. no morning]
			21	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.
			22	And they shall look# unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven# to darkness.
