1. Then Jehovah said to me, Take a large slab, and write upon it with
common strokes, "In speed spoil, booty hastens:" 2. and I will take
to me trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zehcaryahu the
son of Yeberechyahu.
3. And I drew near to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a
son: and Jehovah said to me, Call his name
In-speed-spoil-booty-hastens (Maher-shalal-hash-baz): 4. for before
the boy shall know how to cry, My father, and my mother, they will
carry away the riches of Damascus, and the spoil of Samaria, before
the king of Asshur.
