Isaiah 8

8
1Moreover the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Take youi a great scroll, and write in it with a man’s pen the letters ‘Maher shalal, hash baz [swift is the booty, speedy is the prey].
2And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriyah [Yehovah is my light (flame)] the priest, and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the son of Y’verekhyahu [Yehovah blesses].
3And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to me, Call his name ‘Maher shalal, hash baz [swift is the booty, speedy is the prey].
4For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] and the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of Shomron [watch mountain] shall be taken away before the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))).
5The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke also unto me again, saying,
6Forasmuch as this people refuses the waters of Shilo’ach [sent] that go softly, and rejoice in Retzin [firm] and Remalyahu [protected by Yehovah]’s son;
7Now therefore, behold, the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] brings up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8And he shall pass through Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; 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 youri land, O Emmanu’El (With Us is The Creator God).
9Be broken, O you2f people, and you2f shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you2f of far countries: gird yourselves, and you2f shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you2f shall be broken in pieces.
10Take counsel together, and it shall come to nothing; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] with us.
11For the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12Say you2f not, An alliance, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, An alliance; neither fear you2f their fear, nor be afraid.
13Sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.
14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17And I will wait upon the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that hides his face from the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and I will look for him.
18Behold, I and the children whom the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], which dwells in mount Tziyon [parched place].
19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that whisper, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]? Should the living ask the dead?
20To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
21And they shall pass through the land, hardly served and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall be troubled (be grieved; be displeased) themselves, and curse their king and their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and look upward.
22And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.
