1 | Moreover the
LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen
concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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, |
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.
1 Pet 3:14
|
13 |
Sanctify
the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your
dread.
1 Pet 3:15
|
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.
Rom 9:33
Isa 28:16
1 Pet 2:8
|
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.
Heb 2:13
|
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. |
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. |
