Isaiah 8:3-12

Isaiah 8:3-12

[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] 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  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.
