犹大厌弃主训将受重罚

耶和华对我说:“你取一个大牌,拿人所用的笔[a],写上:玛黑珥沙拉勒哈施罢斯[b] 我要用诚实的见证人,祭司乌利亚耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事。” 以赛亚与妻子[c]同室,她怀孕生子。耶和华就对我说:“给他起名叫玛黑珥沙拉勒哈施罢斯 因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先,大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去。”

耶和华又晓谕我说: “这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水,喜悦利汛利玛利的儿子, 因此主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来,就是亚述王和他所有的威势。必漫过一切的水道,涨过两岸; 必冲入犹大,涨溢泛滥,直到颈项。以马内利啊!他展开翅膀,遍满你的地。”

敬畏耶和华必得安慰

列国的人民哪,任凭你们喧嚷,终必破坏!远方的众人哪,当侧耳而听!任凭你们束起腰来,终必破坏,你们束起腰来,终必破坏! 10 任凭你们同谋,终归无有,任凭你们言定,终不成立,因为神与我们同在。 11 耶和华以大能的手,指教我不可行这百姓所行的道,对我这样说: 12 “这百姓说同谋背叛,你们不要说同谋背叛。他们所怕的,你们不要怕,也不要畏惧。 13 但要尊万军之耶和华为圣,以他为你们所当怕的,所当畏惧的。 14 他必作为圣所,却向以色列两家做绊脚的石头、跌人的磐石,向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗。 15 许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒,而且跌碎,并陷入网罗被缠住。”

16 你要卷起律法书,在我门徒中间封住训诲。 17 我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华,我也要仰望他。 18 看哪,我与耶和华所给我的儿女,就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的,在以色列中作为预兆和奇迹。

崇邪术者必受惩罚

19 有人对你们说:“当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的,就是声音绵蛮、言语微细的。”你们便回答说:“百姓不当求问自己的神吗?岂可为活人求问死人呢? 20 人当以训诲和法度为标准。”他们所说的若不与此相符,必不得见晨光。 21 他们必经过这地,受艰难,受饥饿,饥饿的时候心中焦躁,咒骂自己的君王和自己的神。 22 仰观上天,俯察下地,不料,尽是艰难黑暗和幽暗的痛苦,他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去。

Isaiah and His Children as Signs

The Lord said to me, “Take a large scroll(A) and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.”[a](B) So I called in Uriah(C) the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah as reliable witnesses(D) for me. Then I made love to the prophetess,(E) and she conceived and gave birth to a son.(F) And the Lord said to me, “Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.(G) For before the boy knows(H) how to say ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus(I) and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.(J)

The Lord spoke to me again:

“Because this people has rejected(K)
    the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(L)
and rejoices over Rezin
    and the son of Remaliah,(M)
therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
    the mighty floodwaters(N) of the Euphrates—
    the king of Assyria(O) with all his pomp.(P)
It will overflow all its channels,
    run over all its banks(Q)
and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(R)
    passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(S) will cover the breadth of your land,
    Immanuel[b]!”(T)

Raise the war cry,[c](U) you nations, and be shattered!(V)
    Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare(W) for battle, and be shattered!
    Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted;(X)
    propose your plan, but it will not stand,(Y)
    for God is with us.[d](Z)

11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me,(AA) warning me not to follow(AB) the way of this people:

12 “Do not call conspiracy(AC)
    everything this people calls a conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,(AD)
    and do not dread it.(AE)
13 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,(AF)
    he is the one you are to fear,(AG)
    he is the one you are to dread.(AH)
14 He will be a holy place;(AI)
    for both Israel and Judah he will be
a stone(AJ) that causes people to stumble(AK)
    and a rock that makes them fall.(AL)
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be
    a trap and a snare.(AM)
15 Many of them will stumble;(AN)
    they will fall and be broken,
    they will be snared and captured.”

16 Bind up this testimony of warning(AO)
    and seal(AP) up God’s instruction among my disciples.
17 I will wait(AQ) for the Lord,
    who is hiding(AR) his face from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my trust in him.(AS)

18 Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me.(AT) We are signs(AU) and symbols(AV) in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion.(AW)

The Darkness Turns to Light

19 When someone tells you to consult(AX) mediums and spiritists,(AY) who whisper and mutter,(AZ) should not a people inquire(BA) of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God’s instruction(BB) and the testimony of warning.(BC) If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light(BD) of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry,(BE) they will roam through the land;(BF) when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse(BG) their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom,(BH) and they will be thrust into utter darkness.(BI)
