And it came to pass in the days <H3117> of Ahaz <H0271> the son <H1121> of Jotham, <H3147> the son <H1121> of Uzziah, <H5818> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> [that] Rezin <H7526> the king <H4428> of Syria, <H0758> and Pekah <H6492> the son <H1121> of Remaliah, <H7425> king <H4428> of Israel, <H3478> went up <H5927> toward Jerusalem <H3389> to war <H4421> against it, but could <H3201> not prevail <H3898> against it.
2
And it was told <H5046> the house <H1004> of David, <H1732> saying, <H0559> Syria <H0758> is confederate <H5117> with Ephraim. <H0669> And his heart <H3824> was moved, <H5128> and the heart <H3824> of his people, <H5971> as the trees <H6086> of the wood <H3293> are moved <H5128> with <H6440> the wind. <H7307>
3
Then said <H0559> the LORD <H3068> unto Isaiah, <H3470> Go forth <H3318> now to meet <H7125> Ahaz, <H0271> thou, and Shearjashub <H7610> thy son, <H1121> at the end <H7097> of the conduit <H8585> of the upper <H5945> pool <H1295> in the highway <H4546> of the fuller's <H3526> field; <H7704>
4
And say <H0559> unto him, Take heed, <H8104> and be quiet; <H8252> fear <H3372> not, neither be fainthearted <H7401> <H3824> for the two <H8147> tails <H2180> of these smoking <H6226> firebrands, <H0181> for the fierce <H2750> anger <H0639> of Rezin <H7526> with Syria, <H0758> and of the son <H1121> of Remaliah. <H7425>
5
Because Syria, <H0758> Ephraim, <H0669> and the son <H1121> of Remaliah, <H7425> have taken evil <H7451> counsel <H3289> against thee, saying, <H0559>
6
Let us go up <H5927> against Judah, <H3063> and vex <H6973> it, and let us make a breach <H1234> therein for us, and set <H4427> a king <H4428> in the midst <H8432> of it, [even] the son <H1121> of Tabeal: <H2870>
7
Thus <H3541> saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD, <H3069> It shall not stand, <H6965> neither shall it come to pass.
8
For the head <H7218> of Syria <H0758> [is] Damascus, <H1834> and the head <H7218> of Damascus <H1834> [is] Rezin; <H7526> and within threescore <H8346> and five <H2568> years <H8141> shall Ephraim <H0669> be broken, <H2865> that it be not a people. <H5971>
9
And the head <H7218> of Ephraim <H0669> [is] Samaria, <H8111> and the head <H7218> of Samaria <H8111> [is] Remaliah's <H7425> son. <H1121> If ye will not believe, <H0539> surely ye shall not be established. <H0539>
10
Moreover the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> again <H3254> unto Ahaz, <H0271> saying, <H0559>
11
Ask <H7592> thee a sign <H0226> of the LORD <H3068> thy God; <H0430> ask <H7592> it either in the depth, <H6009> or in the height <H1361> above. <H4605>
12
But Ahaz <H0271> said, <H0559> I will not ask, <H7592> neither will I tempt <H5254> <H0853> the LORD. <H3068>
13
And he said, <H0559> Hear <H8085> ye now, O house <H1004> of David; <H1732> [Is it] a small thing <H4592> for you to weary <H3811> men, <H0582> but will ye weary <H3811> my God <H0430> also?
14
Therefore the Lord <H0136> himself shall give <H5414> you a sign; <H0226> Behold, a virgin <H5959> shall conceive, <H2030> and bear <H3205> a son, <H1121> and shall call <H7121> his name <H8034> Immanuel. <H0410> <H6005>
15
Butter <H2529> and honey <H1706> shall he eat, <H0398> that he may know <H3045> to refuse <H3988> the evil, <H7451> and choose <H0977> the good. <H2896>
16
For before the child <H5288> shall know <H3045> to refuse <H3988> the evil, <H7451> and choose <H0977> the good, <H2896> the land <H0127> that thou abhorrest <H6973> shall be forsaken <H5800> of <H6440> both <H8147> her kings. <H4428>
17
The LORD <H3068> shall bring <H0935> upon thee, and upon thy people, <H5971> and upon thy father's <H0001> house, <H1004> days <H3117> that have not come, <H0935> from the day <H3117> that Ephraim <H0669> departed <H5493> from Judah; <H3063> [even] the king <H4428> of Assyria. <H0804>
18
And it shall come to pass in that day, <H3117> [that] the LORD <H3068> shall hiss <H8319> for the fly <H2070> that [is] in the uttermost part <H7097> of the rivers <H2975> of Egypt, <H4714> and for the bee <H1682> that [is] in the land <H0776> of Assyria. <H0804>
19
And they shall come, <H0935> and shall rest <H5117> all of them in the desolate <H1327> valleys, <H5158> and in the holes <H5357> of the rocks, <H5553> and upon all thorns, <H5285> and upon all bushes. <H5097>
20
In the same day <H3117> shall the Lord <H0136> shave <H1548> with a razor <H8593> that is hired, <H7917> [namely], by them beyond <H5676> the river, <H5104> by the king <H4428> of Assyria, <H0804> the head, <H7218> and the hair <H8181> of the feet: <H7272> and it shall also consume <H5595> the beard. <H2206>
21
And it shall come to pass in that day, <H3117> [that] a man <H0376> shall nourish <H2421> a young cow, <H5697> <H1241> and two <H8147> sheep; <H6629>
22
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance <H7230> of milk <H2461> [that] they shall give <H6213> he shall eat <H0398> butter: <H2529> for butter <H2529> and honey <H1706> shall every one eat <H0398> that is left <H3498> in <H7130> the land. <H0776>
23
And it shall come to pass in that day, <H3117> [that] every place <H4725> shall be, where there were a thousand <H0505> vines <H1612> at a thousand <H0505> silverlings, <H3701> it shall [even] be for briers <H8068> and thorns. <H7898>
24
With arrows <H2671> and with bows <H7198> shall [men] come <H0935> thither; because all the land <H0776> shall become briers <H8068> and thorns. <H7898>
25
And [on] all hills <H2022> that shall be digged <H5737> with the mattock, <H4576> there shall not come <H0935> thither the fear <H3374> of briers <H8068> and thorns: <H7898> but it shall be for the sending forth <H4916> of oxen, <H7794> and for the treading <H4823> of lesser cattle. <H7716>
