Isa. 8:1–2 Through Isaiah’s son, God provides a witness to his promise of deliverance of Judah from the coalition of Syria and Israel.

Isa. 8:3 Isaiah’s wife, the prophetess, bears the “sign-child,” Maher-shalal-hash-baz (see v. 18).

Isa. 8:6–7 The waters of Shiloah that flow gently is used here as an image of God’s faithful care, available to his people. the waters of the (Euphrates) River. Verse 7 describes a swollen “river” of Assyrian military power flowing over Syria and Ephraim and flooding south into Judah, who will survive only by standing on tiptoe to keep her head above the tide (chs. 36–37).

Isa. 8:9–10 In view of Immanuel’s future triumph, Isaiah announces that the enemies of God who gather against his people will be shattered (compare Gen. 3:15).

Isa. 8:11–15 The holy God, who is the sanctuary for frightened human beings who turn to him, is also the snare for those who do not fear him.

Isa. 8:16–22 The difference between the remnant (vv. 16–18) and the hardened nation (vv. 19–22) becomes clear. God marks his own as loyal disciples who preserve the testimony of his word (v. 16).
