Isaiah 8:3-22

8:3

And I went
<07126> (8799)

unto the prophetess
<05031>_;

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

to me, Call
<07121> (8798)

his name
<08034>

Mahershalalhashbaz
<04122>_.

{went: Heb. approached}

8:4

For before the child
<05288>

shall have knowledge
<03045> (8799)

to cry
<07121> (8800)_,

My father
<01>_,

and my mother
<0517>_,

the riches
<02428>

of Damascus
<01834>

and the spoil
<07998>

of Samaria
<08111>

shall be taken away
<05375> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

{the riches...: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc}

8:5

The LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8763)

also unto me again
<03254> (8686)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

8:6

Forasmuch
<03282>

as this people
<05971>

refuseth
<03988> (8804)

the waters
<04325>

of Shiloah
<07975>

that go
<01980> (8802)

softly
<0328>_,

and rejoice
<04885>

in Rezin
<07526>

and Remaliah's
<07425>

son
<01121>_;

8:7

Now therefore, behold, the Lord
<0136>

bringeth up
<05927> (8688)

upon them the waters
<04325>

of the river
<05104>_,

strong
<06099>

and many
<07227>_,

[even] the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and all his glory
<03519>_:

and he shall come up
<05927> (8804)

over all his channels
<0650>_,

and go over
<01980> (8804)

all his banks
<01415>_:

8:8

And he shall pass
<02498> (8804)

through Judah
<03063>_;

he shall overflow
<07857> (8804)

and go over
<05674> (8804)_,

he shall reach
<05060> (8686)

[even] to the neck
<06677>_;

and the stretching out
<04298>

of his wings
<03671>

shall fill
<04393>

the breadth
<07341>

of thy land
<0776>_,

O Immanuel
<06005> <0410>_.

{stretching...: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}

8:9

Associate
<07489> (8798)

yourselves, O ye people
<05971>_,

and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_;

and give ear
<0238> (8685)_,

all
<03605>

ye of far
<04801>

countries
<0776>_:

gird
<0247> (8690)

yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_;

gird
<0247> (8690)

yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_.

{people and: or, people, yet}

8:10

Take
<05779> (0)

counsel
<06098>

together
<05779> (8798)_,

and it shall come to nought
<06565> (8714)_;

speak
<01696> (8761)

the word
<01697>_,

and it shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_:

for God
<0410>

[is] with us.

8:11

For the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8804)

thus to me with a strong
<02393>

hand
<03027>_,

and instructed
<03256> (8765)

me that I should not walk
<03212> (8800)

in the way
<01870>

of this people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{with...: Heb. in strength of hand}

8:12

Say
<0559> (8799)

ye not, A confederacy
<07195>_,

to all [them to] whom this people
<05971>

shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

A confederacy
<07195>_;

neither fear
<03372> (8799)

ye their fear
<04172>_,

nor be afraid
<06206> (8686)_.

8:13

Sanctify
<06942> (8686)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

himself; and [let] him [be] your fear
<04172>_,

and [let] him [be] your dread
<06206> (8688)_.

8:14

And he shall be for a sanctuary
<04720>_;

but for a stone
<068>

of stumbling
<05063>

and for a rock
<06697>

of offence
<04383>

to both
<08147>

the houses
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

for a gin
<06341>

and for a snare
<04170>

to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

8:15

And many
<07227>

among them shall stumble
<03782> (8804)_,

and fall
<05307> (8804)_,

and be broken
<07665> (8738)_,

and be snared
<03369> (8738)_,

and be taken
<03920> (8738)_.

8:16

Bind up
<06887> (8798)

the testimony
<08584>_,

seal
<02856> (8798)

the law
<08451>

among my disciples
<03928>_.

8:17

And I will wait
<02442> (8765)

upon the LORD
<03068>_,

that hideth
<05641> (8688)

his face
<06440>

from the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and I will look
<06960> (8765)

for him.

8:18

Behold, I and the children
<03206>

whom the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me [are] for signs
<0226>

and for wonders
<04159>

in Israel
<03478>

from the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

which dwelleth
<07931> (8802)

in mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_.

8:19

And when they shall say
<0559> (8799)

unto you, Seek
<01875> (8798)

unto them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and unto wizards
<03049>

that peep
<06850> (8772)_,

and that mutter
<01897> (8688)_:

should not a people
<05971>

seek
<01875> (8799)

unto their God
<0430>_?

for the living
<02416>

to the dead
<04191> (8801)_?

8:20

To the law
<08451>

and to the testimony
<08584>_:

if they speak
<0559> (8799)

not according to this word
<01697>_,

[it is] because [there is] no light
<07837>

in them. {no...: Heb. no morning}

8:21

And they shall pass
<05674> (8804)

through it, hardly bestead
<07185> (8737)

and hungry
<07457>_:

and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry
<07456> (8799)_,

they shall fret
<07107> (8694)

themselves, and curse
<07043> (8765)

their king
<04428>

and their God
<0430>_,

and look
<06437> (8804)

upward
<04605>_.

8:22

And they shall look
<05027> (8686)

unto the earth
<0776>_;

and behold trouble
<06869>

and darkness
<02825>_,

dimness
<04588>

of anguish
<06695>_;

and [they shall be] driven
<05080> (8794)

to darkness
<0653>_.
