Damascus and Samaria Fall

1 Moreover H559➔ the LORD H3068 said ➔H559 unto me, H413 Take H3947 thee a H1549➔ great H1419 roll, ➔H1549 and write H3789 in it H5921 with a H2747➔ man's H582 pen ➔H2747 concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. H4122 H4122 2 And I took H5749➔ unto me faithful H539 witnesses H5707 to record, ➔H5749 Uriah H223 the priest, H3548 and H853 Zechariah H2148 the son H1121 of Jeberechiah. H3000
3 And I went H7126 unto H413 the prophetess; H5031 and she conceived, H2029 and bare H3205 a son. H1121 Then said H559 the LORD H3068 to me, H413 Call H7121 his name H8034 Mahershalalhashbaz. H4122 H4122 H4122 H4122 4 For H3588 before H2962 the child H5288 shall have knowledge H3045 to cry, H7121 My father, H1 and my mother, H517 the riches H2428 of Damascus H1834 and H853 the spoil H7998 of Samaria H8111 shall be taken away H5375 before H6440 the king H4428 of Assyria. H804
5 The LORD H3068 spake H1696 also H3254 unto me H413 again, H5750 saying, H559
6 Forasmuch H3282 as H3588 this H2088 people H5971 refuseth H3988 the H7975➔ waters H4325 of Shiloah ➔H7975 that go H1980 softly, H328 and rejoice H4885 in Rezin H7526 and H1121➔ Remaliah's H7425 son; ➔H1121
7 Now therefore, H3651 behold, H2009 the Lord H136 bringeth up H5927 upon them H5921 the H5104➔ waters H4325 of ➔H5104➔ the H6099➔ river, ➔H5104 strong ➔H6099 and many, H7227 even the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and H853 all H3605 his glory: H3519 and he shall come up H5927 over H5921 all H3605 his channels, H650 and go H1980 over H5921 all H3605 his banks: H1415
8 And he shall pass H2498 through Judah; H3063 he shall overflow H7857 and go over, H5674 he shall reach H5060 even to H5704 the neck; H6677 and H1961➔ the stretching out H4298 of his wings H3671 shall ➔H1961 fill H4393 the breadth H7341 of thy land, H776 O Immanuel. H6005 H6005

A Believing Remnant

9 Associate yourselves, H7489 O ye people, H5971 and ye shall be broken in pieces; H2865 and give ear, H238 all ye H3605 of far H4801 countries: H776 gird yourselves, H247 and ye shall be broken in pieces; H2865 gird yourselves, H247 and ye shall be broken in pieces. H2865
10 Take H5779➔ counsel H6098 together, ➔H5779 and it shall come to nought; H6565 speak H1696 the word, H1697 and H3808➔ it shall H6965➔ not ➔H3808 stand: ➔H6965 for H3588 God H410 is with us. H5973
11 For H3588 the LORD H3068 spake H559 thus H3541 to me H413 with H2393➔ a H3027➔ strong ➔H2393 hand, ➔H3027 and instructed me H3256 that I should not walk H3212 in the way H1870 of H5971➔ this H2088 people, ➔H5971 saying, H559
12 Say ye H559 not, H3808 A confederacy, H7195 to all H3605 them to whom H834 this H2088 people H5971 shall say, H559 A confederacy; H7195 neither H3808 fear ye H3372 their fear, H4172 nor H3808 be afraid. H6206
13 Sanctify H6942 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 himself; H853 and H1931➔ let him ➔H1931 be your fear, H4172 and H1931➔ let him ➔H1931 be your dread. H6206
14 And he shall be H1961 for a sanctuary; H4720 but for a stone H68 of stumbling H5063 and for a rock H6697 of offence H4383 to both H8147 the houses H1004 of Israel, H3478 for a gin H6341 and for a snare H4170 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389
15 And H3782➔ many H7227 among them shall stumble, ➔H3782 and fall, H5307 and be broken, H7665 and be snared, H3369 and be taken. H3920
16 Bind up H6887 the testimony, H8584 seal H2856 the law H8451 among my disciples. H3928
17 And I will wait H2442 upon the LORD, H3068 that hideth H5641 his face H6440 from the house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 and I will look H6960 for him.
18 Behold, H2009 I H595 and the children H3206 whom H834 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 me H589 are for signs H226 and for wonders H4159 in Israel H3478 from H5973 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 which dwelleth H7931 in mount H2022 Zion. H6726
19 And when H3588 they shall say H559 unto you, H413 Seek H1875 unto H413 them that have familiar spirits, H178 and unto H413 wizards H3049 that peep, H6850 and that mutter: H1897 should H1875➔ not H3808 a people H5971 seek ➔H1875 unto H413 their God? H430 for H1157 the living H2416 to H413 the dead? H4191 20 To the law H8451 and to the testimony: H8584 if H518 they speak H559 not H3808 according to H1697➔ this H2088 word, ➔H1697 it is because H834 there is no H369 light H7837 in them.
21 And they shall pass H5674 through it, hardly bestead H7185 and hungry: H7457 and it shall come to pass, H1961 that H7107➔ when H3588 they shall be hungry, H7456 they shall fret themselves, ➔H7107 and curse H7043 their king H4428 and their God, H430 and look H6437 upward. H4605 22 And H413➔ they shall look H5027 unto ➔H413 the earth; H776 and behold H2009 trouble H6869 and darkness, H2825 dimness H4588 of anguish; H6695 and H653➔ they shall be driven H5080 to darkness. ➔H653
