Modern English Version

The Coming Assyrian Invasion

8 Moreover the Lord said to me, Take for yourself a large book and write in it with a man’s pen: “Swift is the booty, speedy is the prey.”^{[a] 2} I will take to Myself faithful witnesses for testimony, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberekiah. ³ So I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.^[b]
