1 Yavé me dijo: Toma para ti una tabla grande y escribe en ella con letra legible: Pronto saqueo. Rápido botín. 2 Yo me tomé como testigos fieles al sacerdote Urías y a Zacarías, hijo de Jeberequías. 3 Me uní entonces a la profetisa, la cual concibió y dio a luz un hijo. Yavé me dijo: Llámalo. Pronto saqueo. Rápido botín. 4 Porque antes que el niño aprenda a decir papá y mamá, la riqueza de Damasco y los despojos de Samaria serán llevados al rey de Asiria. 5 Otra vez Yavé volvió a hablarme: 6 Por cuanto este pueblo desprecia las aguas de Siloé que corren mansamente y se regocija con Rezín y el hijo de Remalías, 7 por tanto, ciertamente ʼAdonay trae sobre ellos las aguas impetuosas y poderosas del río, es decir, al rey de Asiria con todo su esplendor, el cual subirá sobre todos sus ríos y pasará sobre todas sus riberas. 8 Luego pasará hasta Judá, inundará y pasará adelante, hasta la garganta, y al desplegar sus alas, cubrirá la anchura de tu tierra, ¡oh Emanuel! 9 Quebrántense, oh pueblos, y sean destrozados. Presten oído, todos los que son de lejanas tierras: Ármense, pero serán derrotados. ¡Prepárense para la guerra, pero serán vencidos! 10 Tracen un plan, y fracasará. Expresen palabra, pero no se cumplirá por causa de Emanuel. 11 Así Yavé me habló con mano fuerte y me instruyó para que no ande por el camino de este pueblo: 12 No llames conspiración lo que este pueblo llama conspiración, ni temas a lo que ellos temen y de lo cual se atemorizan. 13 ¡A Yavé de las huestes santifica! ¡Sea Él tu temor y tu pavor! 14 Él será tu santuario, pero será piedra de tropiezo y roca de caída para ambas casas de Israel, red y trampa para los habitantes de Jerusalén. 15 Muchos de entre ellos tropezarán, caerán y serán quebrantados. Se enredarán y quedarán presos. 16 Ata el testimonio y sella la Ley entre mis discípulos. 17 Esperaré a Yavé, Quien escondió su rostro de la casa de Jacob. A Él esperaré, 18 ciertamente, yo y los hijos que Yavé me dio como señales y prodigios en Israel de parte de Yavé de las huestes, Quien mora en la Montaña Sion. 19 Si les dicen: Consulten a los que evocan a los muertos y a los adivinos que hablan entre dientes y susurran, respondan: ¿No consultará el pueblo a su ʼElohim? ¿Consultará a los muertos por los vivos? 20 ¡A la Ley y al testimonio! Si no dicen conforme a esta Palabra, no les amaneció. 21 Pasarán por la tierra fatigados y hambrientos. Sucederá que cuando tengan hambre y alcen la vista, se airarán y maldecirán a su rey y a su ʼElohim. 22 Mirarán la tierra. Allí habrá tribulación, oscuridad, angustia y tenebrosidad. Serán sumidos en la tenebrosidad.

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 …
