1And it came to pass in the days3117 of Ahaz271 the son1121 of Jotham3147, the son1121 of Uzziah5818, king4428 of Judah3063, that Rezin7526 the king4428 of Syria758, and Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah7425, king4428 of Israel3478, went up5927 toward Jerusalem3389 to war4421 against it, but could3201 not prevail3898 against it.
2And it was told5046 the house1004 of David1732, saying559, Syria758 is confederate5117 with Ephraim669. And his heart3824 was moved5128, and the heart3824 of his people5971, as the trees6086 of the wood3293 are moved5128 with6440 the wind7307.
3Then said559 the LORD3068 unto Isaiah3470, Go forth3318 now to meet7125 Ahaz271, thou, and Shearjashub7610 thy son1121, at the end7097 of the conduit8585 of the upper5945 pool1295 in the highway4546 of the fuller's3526 field7704;
4And say559 unto him, Take heed8104, and be quiet8252; fear3372 not, neither be fainthearted7401 3824 for the two8147 tails2180 of these smoking6226 firebrands181, for the fierce2750 anger639 of Rezin7526 with Syria758, and of the son1121 of Remaliah7425.
5Because Syria758, Ephraim669, and the son1121 of Remaliah7425, have taken evil7451 counsel3289 against thee, saying559,
6Let us go up5927 against Judah3063, and vex6973 it, and let us make a breach1234 therein for us, and set4427 a king4428 in the midst8432 of it, even the son1121 of Tabeal2870:
7Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069, It shall not stand6965, neither shall it come to pass.
8For the head7218 of Syria758 is Damascus1834, and the head7218 of Damascus1834 is Rezin7526; and within threescore8346 and five2568 years8141 shall Ephraim669 be broken2865, that it be not a people5971.
9And the head7218 of Ephraim669 is Samaria8111, and the head7218 of Samaria8111 is Remaliah's7425 son1121. If ye will not believe539, surely ye shall not be established539.
10Moreover the LORD3068 spake1696 again3254 unto Ahaz271, saying559,
11Ask7592 thee a sign226 of the LORD3068 thy God430; ask7592 it either in the depth6009, or in the height1361 above4605.
12But Ahaz271 said559, I will not ask7592, neither will I tempt5254 853 the LORD3068.
13And he said559, Hear8085 ye now, O house1004 of David1732; Is it a small thing4592 for you to weary3811 men582, but will ye weary3811 my God430 also?
14Therefore the Lord136 himself shall give5414 you a sign226; Behold, a virgin5959 shall conceive2030, and bear3205 a son1121, and shall call7121 his name8034 Immanuel410 6005.
15Butter2529 and honey1706 shall he eat398, that he may know3045 to refuse3988 the evil7451, and choose977 the good2896.
16For before the child5288 shall know3045 to refuse3988 the evil7451, and choose977 the good2896, the land127 that thou abhorrest6973 shall be6440 forsaken5800 of both8147 her kings4428.
17The LORD3068 shall bring935 upon thee, and upon thy people5971, and upon thy father's1 house1004, days3117 that have not come935, from the day3117 that Ephraim669 departed5493 from Judah3063; even the king4428 of Assyria804.
18And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that the LORD3068 shall hiss8319 for the fly2070 that is in the uttermost part7097 of the rivers2975 of Egypt4714, and for the bee1682 that is in the land776 of Assyria804.
19And they shall come935, and shall rest5117 all of them in the desolate1327 valleys5158, and in the holes5357 of the rocks5553, and upon all thorns5285, and upon all bushes5097.
20In the same day3117 shall the Lord136 shave1548 with a razor8593 that is hired7917, namely, by them beyond5676 the river5104, by the king4428 of Assyria804, the head7218, and the hair8181 of the feet7272: and it shall also consume5595 the beard2206.
21And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that a man376 shall nourish2421 a young1241 cow5697, and two8147 sheep6629;
22And it shall come to pass, for the abundance7230 of milk2461 that they shall give6213 he shall eat398 butter2529: for butter2529 and honey1706 shall every one eat398 that is left3498 in7130 the land776.
23And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that every place4725 shall be, where there were a thousand505 vines1612 at a thousand505 silverlings3701, it shall even be for briers8068 and thorns7898.
24With arrows2671 and with bows7198 shall men come935 thither; because all the land776 shall become briers8068 and thorns7898.
25And on all hills2022 that shall be digged5737 with the mattock4576, there shall not come thither935 the fear3374 of briers8068 and thorns7898: but it shall be for the sending forth4916 of oxen7794, and for the treading4823 of lesser cattle7716.
