Moreover the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, TakeH3947 thee a greatH1419 rollH1549, and writeH3789 in it with a man'sH582 penH2747 concerning MahershalalhashbazH4122. {Mahershalalhashbaz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc}
And I tookH5749 unto me faithfulH539 witnessesH5707 to recordH5749, UriahH223 the priestH3548, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeberechiahH3000.
And I wentH7126 unto the prophetessH5031; and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 to me, CallH7121 his nameH8034 MahershalalhashbazH4122. {went: Heb. approached}
For before the childH5288 shall have knowledgeH3045 to cryH7121, My fatherH1, and my motherH517, the richesH2428 of DamascusH1834 and the spoilH7998 of SamariaH8111 shall be taken awayH5375 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. {the riches…: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc}
The LORDH3068 spakeH1696 also unto me againH3254, sayingH559,
ForasmuchH3282 as this peopleH5971 refusethH3988 the watersH4325 of ShiloahH7975 that goH1980 softlyH328, and rejoiceH4885 in RezinH7526 and Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121;
Now therefore, behold, the LordH136 bringeth upH5927 upon them the watersH4325 of the riverH5104, strongH6099 and manyH7227, even the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and all his gloryH3519: and he shall come upH5927 over all his channelsH650, and go overH1980 all his banksH1415:
And he shall passH2498 through JudahH3063; he shall overflowH7857 and go overH5674, he shall reachH5060 even to the neckH6677; and the stretching outH4298 of his wingsH3671 shall fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of thy landH776, O ImmanuelH6005+H410. {stretching…: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}
AssociateH7489 yourselves, O ye peopleH5971, and ye shall be broken in piecesH2865; and give earH238, allH3605 ye of farH4801 countriesH776: girdH247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in piecesH2865; girdH247 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in piecesH2865. {people and: or, people, yet}
TakeH5779 counselH6098 togetherH5779, and it shall come to noughtH6565; speakH1696 the wordH1697, and it shall not standH6965: for GodH410 is with us.
For the LORDH3068 spakeH559 thus to me with a strongH2393 handH3027, and instructedH3256 me that I should not walkH3212 in the wayH1870 of this peopleH5971, sayingH559, {with…: Heb. in strength of hand}
SayH559 ye not, A confederacyH7195, to all them to whom this peopleH5971 shall sayH559, A confederacyH7195; neither fearH3372 ye their fearH4172, nor be afraidH6206.
SanctifyH6942 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 himself; and let him be your fearH4172, and let him be your dreadH6206.
And he shall be for a sanctuaryH4720; but for a stoneH68 of stumblingH5063 and for a rockH6697 of offenceH4383 to bothH8147 the housesH1004 of IsraelH3478, for a ginH6341 and for a snareH4170 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And manyH7227 among them shall stumbleH3782, and fallH5307, and be brokenH7665, and be snaredH3369, and be takenH3920.
Bind upH6887 the testimonyH8584, sealH2856 the lawH8451 among my disciplesH3928.
And I will waitH2442 upon the LORDH3068, that hidethH5641 his faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and I will lookH6960 for him.
Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH7931 in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
And when they shall sayH559 unto you, SeekH1875 unto them that have familiar spiritsH178, and unto wizardsH3049 that peepH6850, and that mutterH1897: should not a peopleH5971 seekH1875 unto their GodH430? for the livingH2416 to the deadH4191?
To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584: if they speakH559 not according to this wordH1697, it is because there is no lightH7837 in them. {no…: Heb. no morning}
And they shall passH5674 through it, hardly besteadH7185 and hungryH7457: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungryH7456, they shall fretH7107 themselves, and curseH7043 their kingH4428 and their GodH430, and lookH6437 upwardH4605.
And they shall lookH5027 unto the earthH776; and behold troubleH6869 and darknessH2825, dimnessH4588 of anguishH6695; and they shall be drivenH5080 to darknessH653.

Now goH935, writeH3789 it before them in a tableH3871, and noteH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may be for the timeH3117 to comeH314 forH5704 everH5703 and everH5769: {the…: Heb. the latter day}
That this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lyingH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that willH14 not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068:
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
But the pathH734 of the justH6662 is as the shiningH5051 lightH216, that shinethH215 moreH1980 and more unto the perfectH3559 dayH3117.
He saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, WhatG5101 is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551? howG4459 readest thouG314?
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
Then shall we knowH3045, if we followH7291 on to knowH3045 the LORDH3068: his going forthH4161 is preparedH3559 as the morningH7837; and he shall comeH935 unto us as the rainH1653, as the latterH4456 and former rainH3384 unto the earthH776.
AbrahamG11 saithG3004 unto himG846, They haveG2192 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396; let them hearG191 themG846.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, NayG3780, fatherG3962 AbrahamG11: butG235 ifG1437 oneG5100 wentG4198 untoG4314 themG846 fromG575 the deadG3498, they will repentG3340.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
But unto you that fearH3373 my nameH8034 shall the SunH8121 of righteousnessH6666 ariseH2224 with healingH4832 in his wingsH3671; and ye shall go forthH3318, and grow upH6335 as calvesH5695 of the stallH4770.
SearchG2045 the scripturesG1124; forG3754 inG1722 themG846 yeG5210 thinkG1380 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 theyG1565 are theyG1526 which testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
We haveG2192 alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193+G3739 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
ForG1063+G1487 had ye believedG4100 MosesG3475, ye would have believedG4100+G302 meG1698: forG1063 heG1565 wroteG1125 ofG4012 meG1700.
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye believeG4100 notG3756 hisG1565 writingsG1121, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 myG1699 wordsG4487?
Therefore nightH3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821+H2821 unto you, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall go downH935 over the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be darkH6937 over them. {that…: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that…: divine: Heb. from divining}
TheseG3778 wereG2258 more nobleG2104 than those inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in that theyG3748 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG1124 dailyG2250+G2596, whetherG1487 those thingsG5023 wereG2192 soG3779.
ButG1161 ifG1437 thineG4675 eyeG3788 beG5600 evilG4190, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG2071 full of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thereforeG3767 the lightG5457 that isG2076 inG1722 theeG4671 be darknessG4655, how greatG4214 is that darknessG4655!
AndG1161 the scriptureG1124, foreseeingG4275 thatG3754 GodG2316 would justifyG1344 the heathenG1484 throughG1537 faithG4102, preached before the gospelG4283 unto AbrahamG11, saying,G3754 InG1722 theeG4671 shallG1757 allG3956 nationsG1484 be blessedG1757.
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
BrethrenG80, I speakG3004 after the manner ofG2596 menG444; Though it be butG3676 a man'sG444 covenantG1242, yet if it be confirmedG2964, no manG3762 disannullethG114, orG2228 addeth theretoG1928. {covenant: or, testament}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 couldG1410 have given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG1343 shouldG302 have beenG2258 byG1537 the lawG3551.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 after that faithG4102 is comeG2064, we areG2070 no longerG2089+G3765 underG5259 a schoolmasterG3807.
ForG1063 ye areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316 byG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 as many of you asG3745 have been baptizedG907 intoG1519 ChristG5547 have put onG1746 ChristG5547.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 ifG1487 yeG5210 be Christ'sG5547, thenG686 are yeG2075 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the promiseG1860.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, Ye do errG4105, notG3361 knowingG1492 the scripturesG1124, norG3366 the powerG1411 of GodG2316.
TellG3004 meG3427, ye that desireG2309 to beG1511 underG5259 the lawG3551, do yeG191 notG3756 hearG191 the lawG3551?
HowbeitG1161 in vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.
ForG1063 laying asideG863 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, ye holdG2902 the traditionG3862 of menG444, as the washingG909 of potsG3582 andG2532 cupsG4221: andG2532 manyG4183 otherG243 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 ye doG4160.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Full wellG2573 ye rejectG114 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, thatG2443 ye may keepG5083 your ownG5216 traditionG3862. {reject: or, frustrate}
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
AndG2532 thatG3754 fromG575 a childG1025 thou hast knownG1492 the holyG2413 scripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to makeG4679 theeG4571 wiseG4679 untoG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3361+G3918 these thingsG5023 isG2076 blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467, and hath forgottenG3024+G2983 that he was purged fromG2512 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG266.
We haveG2192 alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193+G3739 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
