1 And Jehovah will say to me, Take to thee a great tablet, and write upon it with a man's graving tool to hasten the spoil, urging on the plunder.

2 I will take to witness to me faithful witnesses, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.

3 And I shall draw near to the prophetess; and she will conceive and bear a son, and Jehovah will say to me, Call his name, Hastening the spoil, urging on the plunder.

4 For before the boy shall know to call, My father and my mother, he shall lift up the strength of Damascus and the spoil of Shomeron before the king of Assur.

5 And Jehovah will add yet to speak to me, saying,

6 Because this people rejected the water of Shiloh, going softly and rejoicing in Rezin and the son of Remaliah;

7 And for this, behold Jehovah bringing up upon them the water of the river, strong and many, the king of Assur and his glory: and he came up over all his channels and he went over all his banks.
