Isaiah 8 · Grade 3
Turn to the Law
Read the Story
Yahweh told Isaiah, "Take a large tablet." Isaiah wrote the name Maher Shalal Hash Baz on it. Later Isaiah's son was born. God told him to give his son that name. Before the boy could say My father or My mother, Assyria would carry away the riches of Damascus.
The people refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly. So the king of Assyria would come. But the plans of the nations would not stand, for God is with us.
God told Isaiah, "Don't fear their threats." Yahweh of Armies was the one to respect as holy. Isaiah said, "I will wait for Yahweh." He told the people to stop asking wizards. "Turn to the law and to the covenant!"
