Isaiah 8:1-10 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. Moreover the LORD said unto me,

2. And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

3. And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me,

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 spoke also unto me again, saying,

6. Because this people refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

7. Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings 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 pass over, he shall reach up to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

9. Be shattered, O you people, you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you from far countries: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.

10. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nothing; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
