Isaiah 8-9
English Standard Version
The Coming Assyrian Invasion
8 Then the Lord said to me, “Take a large tablet (A)and write on it in common characters,[a] ‘Belonging to Maher-shalal-hash-baz.’[b] 2 And (B)I will get reliable witnesses, (C)Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah, to attest for me.”
3 And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, (D)“Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz; 4 (E)for before the boy knows how to cry ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the (F)wealth of (G)Damascus and the spoil of (H)Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.”
5 The Lord spoke to me again: 6 “Because this people has refused the waters of (I)Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over (J)Rezin and the son of Remaliah, 7 therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them (K)the waters of (L)the River,[c] mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it (M)will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks, 8 and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, (N)reaching even to the neck, and its (O)outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, (P)O Immanuel.”
9 Be broken,[d] you peoples, and (Q)be shattered;[e]
give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
strap on your armor and be shattered.
10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
speak a word, (R)but it will not stand,
for God (S)is with us.[f]
Fear God, Wait for the Lord
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and (T)warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not call (U)conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and (V)do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the Lord of hosts, (W)him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a (X)sanctuary and (Y)a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many (Z)shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”
16 Bind up (AA)the testimony; (AB)seal the teaching[g] among my disciples. 17 I will (AC)wait for the Lord, who is (AD)hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18 (AE)Behold, I and (AF)the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 And when they say to you, “Inquire of the (AG)mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of (AH)the dead on behalf of the living? 20 (AI)To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no (AJ)dawn. 21 They will pass through the land,[h] greatly distressed and hungry. And when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will speak contemptuously against[i] their king and their God, and turn their faces upward. 22 (AK)And they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish. And they will be thrust into (AL)thick darkness.
For to Us a Child Is Born
9 [j] But there will be no (AM)gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he (AN)brought into contempt the land of (AO)Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he (AP)has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.[k]
2 [l] (AQ)The people (AR)who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of (AS)deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
3 (AT)You have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with (AU)joy at the harvest,
as they (AV)are glad (AW)when they divide the spoil.
4 (AX)For the yoke of his burden,
(AY)and the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as (AZ)on the day of Midian.
5 (BA)For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 (BB)For to us a child is born,
to us (BC)a son is given;
(BD)and the government shall be (BE)upon[m] his shoulder,
and his name shall be called[n]
Wonderful (BF)Counselor, (BG)Mighty God,
(BH)Everlasting (BI)Father, Prince of (BJ)Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
(BK)there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
(BL)with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
(BM)The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
Judgment on Arrogance and Oppression
8 The Lord has sent a word against Jacob,
and it will fall on Israel;
9 and all the people will know,
(BN)Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say in pride and in arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen,
but we will build with dressed stones;
the sycamores have been cut down,
but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 But the Lord raises the adversaries of Rezin against him,
and stirs up his enemies.
12 (BO)The Syrians on the east and (BP)the Philistines on the west
devour Israel with open mouth.
(BQ)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
13 The people (BR)did not turn to him who struck them,
nor inquire of the Lord of hosts.
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel (BS)head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day—
15 (BT)the elder and honored man is the head,
and (BU)the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16 for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17 Therefore the Lord does not (BV)rejoice over their young men,
and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is (BW)godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks (BX)folly.[o]
(BY)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns like (BZ)a fire;
it consumes briers and thorns;
it kindles the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
the land is scorched,
and (CA)the people are like fuel for the fire;
(CB)no one spares another.
20 (CC)They slice meat on the right, but are still hungry,
and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied;
(CD)each devours the flesh of his own arm,
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim devours Manasseh;
together they are (CE)against Judah.
(CF)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.

Isaiah and His Children as Signs
8 The Lord said to me, “Take a large scroll(A) and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.”[a](B) 2 So I called in Uriah(C) the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah as reliable witnesses(D) for me. 3 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) 4 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)”
5 The Lord spoke to me again:
6 “Because this people has rejected(K)
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(L)
and rejoices over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,(M)
7 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)
8 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)
9 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)
9 [e]Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom(BJ) for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,(BK) but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness(BL)
have seen a great light;(BM)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(BN)
a light has dawned.(BO)
3 You have enlarged the nation(BP)
and increased their joy;(BQ)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(BR)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(BS)
you have shattered(BT)
the yoke(BU) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(BV)
the rod of their oppressor.(BW)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(BX)
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,(BY)
to us a son is given,(BZ)
and the government(CA) will be on his shoulders.(CB)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,(CC) Mighty God,(CD)
Everlasting(CE) Father,(CF) Prince of Peace.(CG)
7 Of the greatness of his government(CH) and peace(CI)
there will be no end.(CJ)
He will reign(CK) on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice(CL) and righteousness(CM)
from that time on and forever.(CN)
The zeal(CO) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
8 The Lord has sent a message(CP) against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim(CQ) and the inhabitants of Samaria(CR)—
who say with pride
and arrogance(CS) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(CT)
the fig(CU) trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.(CV)”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(CW) foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(CX) from the east and Philistines(CY) from the west
have devoured(CZ) Israel with open mouth.
13 But the people have not returned(DC) to him who struck(DD) them,
nor have they sought(DE) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed(DF) in a single day;(DG)
15 the elders(DH) and dignitaries(DI) are the head,
the prophets(DJ) who teach lies(DK) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(DL) this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.(DM)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(DN)
nor will he pity(DO) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(DP) and wicked,(DQ)
every mouth speaks folly.(DR)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(DS)
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(DT)
it consumes briers and thorns,(DU)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(DV)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(DW) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(DX)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(DY)
they will not spare one another.(DZ)
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;(EA)
on the left they will eat,(EB)
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[f]:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(EC)
together they will turn against Judah.(ED)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(EE)
