Isaiah 8:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 I have appointed[a] trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.”(A)
3 I was then intimate with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The Lord said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz, 4 for before the boy knows how to call out father or mother,(B) the wealth of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria will be carried off to the king of Assyria.”(C)
