23_ISA_07_01 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
23_ISA_07_02 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
23_ISA_07_03 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
23_ISA_07_04 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
23_ISA_07_05 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
23_ISA_07_06 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal:
23_ISA_07_07 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
23_ISA_07_08 For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
23_ISA_07_09 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is] Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
23_ISA_07_10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
23_ISA_07_11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
23_ISA_07_12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
23_ISA_07_13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
23_ISA_07_14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
23_ISA_07_15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
23_ISA_07_16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
23_ISA_07_17 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.
23_ISA_07_18 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall hiss for the fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.
23_ISA_07_19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
23_ISA_07_20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, [namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
23_ISA_07_21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
23_ISA_07_22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [that] they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23_ISA_07_23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns.
23_ISA_07_24 With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
23_ISA_07_25 And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
