Jes 8:17-18 KR 1933/38 17 Niin
minä odotan Herraa, joka kätkee kasvonsa Jaakobin heimolta, ja panen toivoni
häneen. 18 Katso, minä ja lapset, jotka Herra on minulle antanut, me
olemme Herran Sebaotin merkkeinä ja ihmeinä Israelissa, hänen, joka asuu
Siionin vuorella.
Isaiah
8:17-18 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 17 And I will wait for the Lord,
Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for and hope in
Him.
18 Behold,
I and the children whom the Lord has given me are [a]signs and wonders [that
are to take place] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, Who dwells on Mount Zion.
Footnotes Isaiah 8:18
Isaiah’s own name means “Salvation of the Lord.” His two children’s names were
“signs” pointing to the coming crisis and the need for God’s help: Shear-jashub
means “A remnant shall return” (Isa. 7:3), and Maher-shalal-hash-baz means
“They hasten to the spoil; they speed to the prey,” referring to the Assyrians
(Isa. 8:1).
