Footnotes
שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב (Shear-Yashuv) means "a remnant shall return." The child is a walking oracle — his name holds simultaneously a note of judgment (only a remnant will survive) and a note of hope (they will return). Both translations preserve the Hebrew rather than glossing it, because flattening the name into an English phrase would dissolve the prophetic charge Isaiah carries with him into the encounter.
