Isaiah 8 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Again ^H3254 Yahweh ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to me further ^H5750, saying ^H559,

“Inasmuch ^H3282 H3588 as these ^H2088 people ^H5971 have rejected ^H3988 the gently ^H328 flowing ^H1980 waters ^H4325 of Shiloah ^H7975

And rejoice ^H4885 in Rezin ^H7526 and the son ^H1121 of Remaliah ^H7425;

Now therefore ^H3651, behold ^H2009, the Lord ^H136 is about to bring ^H5927 on them the mighty ^H6099 and abundant ^H7227 waters ^H4325 of the [fn]River ^H5104—

The king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 and all ^H3605 his glory ^H3519;

And it will rise ^H5927 up ^H5927 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 its channels ^H650 and go ^H1980 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 its banks ^H1415.

“Then it will sweep ^H2498 on ^H2498 into Judah ^H3063; it will overflow ^H7857 and pass ^H5674 through ^H5674;

It will reach ^H5060 even ^H5704 to the neck ^H6677;

And the spread ^H4298 of its wings ^H3671 will [fn]fill ^H4393 the breadth ^H7341 of [fn]Your land ^H776, O Immanuel ^H6005.

“Be broken ^H7489, O peoples ^H5971, and be [fn]shattered ^H2865;

And give ^H238 ear ^H238, all ^H3605 remote ^H4801 places ^H4801 of the earth ^H776.

Gird ^H247 yourselves, yet be [fn]shattered ^H2865;

Gird ^H247 yourselves, yet be [fn]shattered ^H2865.

“Devise ^H5779 counsel ^H6098, but it will be thwarted ^H6565;

Speak ^H1696 a word ^H1697, but it will not stand ^H6965,

For [fn]God ^H410 is with us.”

For thus ^H3541 Yahweh ^H3068 spoke ^H559 to me with a strong ^H2393 hand ^H3027 and disciplined ^H3256 me not to walk ^H1980 in the way ^H1870 of this ^H2088 people ^H5971, saying ^H559,

“You are not to say ^H559, ‘It is a conspiracy ^H7195!’

In regard to all ^H3605 that this ^H2088 people ^H5971 call ^H559 a conspiracy ^H7195;

And you are not to fear ^H3372 [fn]what ^H4172 they fear ^H4172, and you shall not tremble ^H6206.

“It is Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 whom you should regard ^H6942 as ^H6942 holy ^H6942.

And He shall be your fear ^H4172,

And He shall be ^H6206 your cause ^H6206 of ^H6206 trembling ^H6206.

“Then He shall become ^H1961 a sanctuary ^H4720;

But to both ^H8147 the houses ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478, a stone ^H68 to strike ^H5063 and a rock ^H6697 to stumble ^H4383 over,

And a snare ^H6341 and a trap ^H4170 for the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389.

“And many ^H7227 will stumble ^H3782 over them;

Then they will fall ^H5307 and be broken ^H7665;

They will even be snared ^H3369 and caught ^H3920.”

Bind ^H6887 up ^H6887 the testimony ^H8584, seal ^H2856 the [fn]law ^H8451 among my disciples ^H3928.

Now when ^H3588 they say ^H559 to you, “Inquire ^H1875 of the mediums ^H178 and the spiritists ^H3049 who whisper ^H6850 and mutter ^H1897,” should not a people ^H5971 inquire ^H1875 of their God ^H430? Should they inquire of the dead ^H4191 on behalf ^H1157 of the living ^H2416?
