1The Lord said to me, “Get a large tablet and write on it with a man's stylus: For Maher Shalal Hash Baz.”
2I also swore in faithful witnesses: Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.[#8:2 It is uncertain if this verse is part of the 's command or is an action taken by Isaiah.]
3I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, “Name him Maher Shalal Hash Baz.[#8:3 means quick to the plunder, swift to the prey .]
4For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5Then the Lord spoke to me again and said:
9Be broken to pieces, you peoples.
Be shattered!
Listen, all of you from faraway countries.
Dress for battle, and be shattered!
Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10Get together, make your plans,
but they will not succeed.
Speak the word, but it will not stand,
for God is with us.
11Listen! This is how the Lord spoke to me with a strong hand upon me. He instructed me not to walk in the way of this people. He said:
16Roll up the scroll of testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
17I will wait for the Lord , who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will wait hopefully for him.
18Look, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and warnings to Israel from the Lord of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
19When they tell you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists, who whisper and mutter,” shouldn't a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20To the law and to the testimony! If people do not speak according to this word, there will be no dawn for them.
21They will pass through the land, distressed and starving, but when this takes place and they are starving, they will be frustrated, and they will curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22and then they will look down to the ground, but I tell you, they will see only distress, darkness, and the gloom that brings anguish. They will be banished into thick darkness.
