And Jehovah said to me, Take a large scroll and write in it with a man's pen: Maher- shalal-hash-baz. (which means, Hurry to the plunder! Make haste to the spoils!)

Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and note it in a book, so that it may be for time to come forever and ever,

And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it and built siege walls against it all around.
