Now
in the days that
Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was
king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram
marched
up
to
wage
war
against
Jerusalem.
He
was
accompanied
by
Pekah son of Remaliah the
king of Israel, but he
could not overpower
the
city
.
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
to
Jerusalem
to
war
against
it,
but could not prevail
against
it
.
When
it was reported
to
the house of David that
Aram
was
in
league
with Ephraim, the hearts
of Ahaz
and
his people trembled
like
trees in
the forest shaken
by
the wind.
And
it was told
the house of David ,
saying,
Syria
is
confederate
with Ephraim .
And
his
heart
trembled
, and
the heart
of his people ,
as
the
trees of
the forest tremble
with
the wind.
Then the
LORD
said to
Isaiah, “
Go out
with
your
son
Shear-jashub
to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct
that
feeds
the upper pool, on
the road
to
the Launderer’s
Field ,
Then said Jehovah
unto
Isaiah, Go forth
now
to meet Ahaz ,
thou,
and
Shear-jashub
thy
son,
at the end of the conduit
of
the upper pool, in
the highway
of
the fuller's
field ;
and say to
him :
Calm
down
and be quiet .
Do
not be afraid
or
disheartened
over
these two smoldering
stubs
of firewood—over
the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram
and of the son of Remaliah.
and say unto
him ,
Take
heed,
and be quiet ;
fear
not ,
neither
let
thy
heart
be faint,
because
of
these two tails
of smoking
firebrands,
for
the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria,
and of the son of Remaliah.
For
Aram
, along
with
Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has
plotted
your
ruin
, saying :
Because
Syria
, Ephraim ,
and the son of Remaliah, have
purposed
evil
against
thee
, saying ,
‘
Let us invade
Judah, terrorize
it, and divide
it among
ourselves.
Then
we
can
install
the son of Tabeal
over
it
as
king.’
Let us go
up
against
Judah, and
vex
it, and let
us
make
a
breach
therein
for
us,
and
set
up
a
king
in
the
midst
of
it ,
even
the son of Tabeel;
But
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says:
‘
It will
not arise;
it will
not
happen
.
thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah,
It shall
not stand,
neither
shall
it come
to
pass
.
For the head of Aram
is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin .
Within sixty-
five years Ephraim will
be shattered
as
a people .
For the head of Syria
is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin ;
and
within threescore
and
five years shall
Ephraim be broken
in
pieces,
so
that
is
shall
not
be
a people :
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the
son of
Remaliah
. If you
do
not stand
firm
in
your
faith
, then
you
will
not stand
at
all
. ’”
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
.
Again the
LORD
spoke
to
Ahaz, saying,
And
Jehovah
spake
again unto
Ahaz, saying,
“
Ask for
a sign from
the
LORD
your
God ,
whether
from
the depths
of
Sheol
or the heights
of
heaven
. ”
Ask thee
a sign of
Jehovah
thy
God ;
ask
it
either
in
the depth,
or in
the height
above
.
But Ahaz replied
, “
I will not ask ;
I
will not
test
the
LORD
. ”
But Ahaz said
, I will not ask ,
neither
will I
tempt
Jehovah
.
Then
Isaiah
said, “
Hear now, O house of David !
Is it not
enough
to try
the
patience
of
men ?
Will you
try
the
patience
of
my God as
well
?
And
he
said, Hear ye
now, O house of David :
Is it a
small
thing
for
you
to weary
men ,
that
ye
will weary
my God also
?
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the
virgin will
be
with
child
and will
give
birth
to
a son, and will
call Him
Immanuel.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a
virgin shall
conceive,
and bear
a son, and shall
call his
name
Immanuel.
By
the
time
He knows
enough
to reject
evil and choose good ,
He
will
be
eating
curds
and
honey
.
Butter
and
honey
shall
he eat,
when
he
knoweth
to refuse
the
evil ,
and choose the
good.
For before the boy
knows
enough
to reject
evil and choose good, the land of
the
two kings you
dread
will
be laid
waste
.
For before the child
shall
know
to refuse
the
evil ,
and choose the
good, the land whose
two kings thou
abhorrest
shall
be forsaken
.
The
LORD
will bring on
you
and on
your
people and on
the
house of
your
father
a
time
unlike
any
since
the day Ephraim separated
from Judah —He
will
bring
the king of Assyria. ”
Jehovah
will 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.
On
that day the
LORD
will whistle
to
the flies
at
the farthest
streams
of the Nile
and to
the bees
in the land of Assyria.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that day ,
that
Jehovah
will 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.
And they will
all
come and settle
in the steep
ravines
and clefts of the rocks, in
all the
thornbushes
and watering
holes
.
And they shall
come ,
and shall
rest
all
of
them
in the desolate
valleys,
and in
the
clefts of the rocks, and
upon
all thorn-hedges,
and upon
all
pastures
.
On
that day the Lord will
use
a razor hired from
beyond the Euphrates
—
the king of Assyria —to
shave
your
head and the hair of your
legs,
and to
remove
your
beard as
well
.
In
that day will
the Lord shave
with
a razor that
is
hired in
the
parts
beyond the River,
`even'
with
the king of Assyria ,
the
head and the hair of the
feet;
and it
shall
also
consume
the
beard.
On
that day a man will
raise
a young cow and two sheep ,
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that day ,
that
a man shall
keep
alive
a young cow ,
and two sheep ;
and from
the abundance of milk they give ,
he will
eat curds;
for all
who
remain
in the land will
eat
curds
and
honey
.
and it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
because
of
the abundance of milk which
they shall
give he shall
eat butter:
for butter
and
honey
shall
every
one
eat
that
is
left
in the midst
of
the
land.
And on
that day, in
every place that
had
a thousand vines worth
a thousand shekels
of
silver
, only
briers and thorns will
be
found
.
And it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that day, that
every place ,
where
there
were
a thousand vines at
a thousand silverlings
, shall
be
for
briers and thorns.
Men
will
go
there
with bow
and arrow
, for
the land will
be covered
with
briers and thorns.
With arrows
and with
bow
shall
one
come
thither
, because
all
the land shall
be briers and thorns.
For fear of the
briers and thorns ,
you
will
no
longer
traverse
the
hills
once
tilled
by
the
hoe
; they
will
become
places
for oxen to
graze
and sheep to
trample
.
And
all
the
hills
that
were
digged
with
the
mattock,
thou
shalt
not
come
thither
for fear of briers and thorns; but
it
shall
be
for the
sending
forth
of
oxen ,
and for
the
treading
of
sheep.
