Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), read by Joyfull · Isaías 7–8 · About the recordings

1 El Señor me dijo: Toma una tabla grande y escribe en ella con letras comunes: Maher-salal-hasbaz. 2 Toma como testigos fieles de lo escrito al sacerdote Urías y a Zacarías, hijo de Jeberequías. 3 Tuve relaciones con mi esposa, y ella quedó embarazada y dio a luz un hijo. Entonces el Señor me dijo: Llámalo Maher-salal-hasbaz, 4 porque antes de que el niño sepa decir «padre» o «madre», el rey de Asiria se llevará las riquezas de Damasco y los bienes de Samaria. 5 El Señor volvió a decirme: 6 Este pueblo rechaza las aguas de Siloé, que corren suavemente, y teme a Rezín y al hijo de Remalías. 7 Por eso el Señor traerá contra él las aguas profundas y poderosas del Río: al rey de Asiria con toda su gloria. El río se saldrá de todos sus cauces y desbordará todas sus orillas. 8 Entrará en Judá, avanzando y desbordándose hasta llegar al cuello. Sus alas extendidas cubrirán de lado a lado tu tierra, Emanuel. 9 Escuchen, pueblos, y tengan miedo. Presten atención, regiones lejanas de la tierra. ¡Prepárense, pero serán destruidos! ¡Prepárense, pero serán destruidos! 10 Hagan sus planes, pero quedarán en nada; den sus órdenes, pero no se cumplirán, porque Dios está con nosotros. 11 El Señor me sujetó con mano firme y me ordenó que no siguiera el camino de este pueblo. Me dijo: 12 No llamen «conspiración» a todo lo que este pueblo llama conspiración, ni tengan miedo de lo que ellos temen. 13 Reconozcan como santo al Señor de los ejércitos; témanle a él y hónrenlo. 14 Él será un santuario, pero también una piedra de tropiezo y una roca que hará caer a las dos familias de Israel; para los habitantes de Jerusalén será una red que los atrapará. 15 Muchos de ellos tropezarán en esa piedra y se quebrarán; quedarán atrapados en la red. 16 Mantengan en secreto mi enseñanza y entreguen mis palabras solo a mis discípulos. 17 Esperaré al Señor, que esconde su rostro de la familia de Jacob; lo buscaré. 18 Aquí estamos, yo y los hijos que me ha dado el Señor. Somos señales y prodigios en Israel de parte del Señor de los ejércitos, que habita en el monte Sión. 19 Cuando les digan: «Consulten a los que se comunican con los espíritus y a los adivinos, que chillan y murmuran», ¿no debe un pueblo consultar a su Dios? ¿Debe consultar a los muertos en favor de los vivos? 20 ¡Acudan a la enseñanza y al testimonio! Si no hablan conforme a esta palabra, no habrá amanecer para ellos. 21 El hombre recorrerá la tierra angustiado y hambriento. Cuando no consiga comida, se enfurecerá y maldecirá a su rey y a su Dios. Mirará hacia lo alto, al cielo; 22 luego mirará la tierra y verá angustia y nubes oscuras, una noche negra en la que nada se puede ver.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 8:4 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XVI)

    "For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, Father or mother, He shall receive the power of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria, against the king of the Assyrians;" declaring, in a mysterious manner indeed, but emphatically, that the Lord did fight with a hidden hand against Amalek.

  2. Quotes verse 8:3 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily V)

    How is it then that the prophet said, "Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz?" Because, when he was born, there was a taking and dividing of spoils, therefore the event that took place in his time is put as his name.

  3. Quotes verse 8:18 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (First Catechetical Lecture)

    … beside the waters of comfort, He hath converted my soul:--that Angels also may share your joy, and Christ Himself the great High Priest, having accepted your resolve, may present you all to the Father, saying, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given Me.

  4. Quotes verse 8:19 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fifth Theological Oration)

    It is very shameful, and not only shameful, but very foolish, to take from things below a guess at things above, and from a fluctuating nature at the things that are unchanging, and as Isaiah says, to seek the Living among the dead. But yet I will try, for your sake, to give you some assistance for your argument, even …

  5. Quotes verse 8:3 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XXXII)

    Again, there are those who say, "He is a man, and who shall know him?" and, "I came unto the prophetess, and she bare a son, and His name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God;" and those [of them] who proclaimed Him as Immanuel, [born] of the Virgin, exhibited the union of the Word of God with His own …
