Young's Literal Translation
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
cometh
to
pass
in the days of
Ahaz ,
son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone
up
hath
Rezin king of Aram ,
and
Pekah ,
son of Remaliah ,
king of Israel, to
Jerusalem,
to
battle
against
it,
and
he is
not able
to
fight
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 is
declared
to the house of David ,
saying,
`
Aram hath
been
led
towards
Ephraim, '
And
his
heart
and
the heart
of his people is
moved,
like the moving
of
trees
of
a
forest by the presence
of
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,
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Isaiah, `
Go forth,
I
pray
thee,
to meet Ahaz ,
thou,
and
Shear-Jashub
thy
son,
unto
the end of the conduit
of
the upper pool, unto
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 thou
hast
said
unto
him: `Take
heed,
and be quiet ,
fear
not ,
And
let
not
thy
heart
be timid,
Because
of
these two tails
of smoking
brands,
For
the fierceness
of
the
anger of Rezin and Aram ,
And the son of Remaliah.
For
Aram, along
with
Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has
plotted
your
ruin,
saying:
Because
that
Aram counselled
against
thee
evil
, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
‘Let
us
invade
Judah, terrorize
it, and divide
it among
ourselves .
Then
we can
install
the son of Tabeal over
it
as
king
. ’
We
go
up
into
Judah, and
we
vex
it, And we
rend
it unto
ourselves ,
And
we cause
a
king
to
reign
in
its
midst
--
The son of Tabeal.
But
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
It will
not arise;
it will
not
happen.
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: It doth
not stand,
nor
shall
it be!
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 Aram `
is '
Damascus, And the head of Damascus `
is '
Rezin ,
And
within sixty and
five years Is
Ephraim broken
from
`being'
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 '
the son of Remaliah. If ye
do not give
credence
, Surely
ye
are
not stedfast
. '
Again
the
LORD
spoke
to Ahaz, saying ,
And
Jehovah
addeth
to speak
unto
Ahaz, saying :
“
Ask for a sign from the
LORD
your
God, whether
from
the depths
of
Sheol
or the
heights
of
heaven
. ”
`
Ask for thee
a sign from Jehovah
thy
God, Make
deep
the request,
or make
`it'
high
upwards
. '
But
Ahaz replied
, “
I will
not ask ;
I
will
not
test
the
LORD
. ”
And
Ahaz saith
, `
I do
not ask nor
try
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
saith
, `
Hear, I
pray
you,
O house of David ,
Is it a
little
thing
for
you
to weary
men ,
That
ye
weary
also
my God?
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 giveth
to
you a sign, Lo,
the Virgin is
conceiving,
And is
bringing
forth
a son, And hath
called
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
he doth
eat,
When
he
knoweth
to refuse
evil, and to
fix
on
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 youth
doth
know
To refuse
evil ,
and to
fix
on
good, Forsaken
is
the land thou
art
vexed
with,
because
of her
two kings.
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
bringeth
on thee,
and on thy
people ,
And on the house of thy
father ,
Days
that
have
not
come,
Even
from
the day of
the
turning
aside
of
Ephraim from Judah ,
By
the king of Asshur
.
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
hath
come
to
pass,
in
that day ,
Jehovah
doth
hiss
for
a
fly
that
`is'
in
the extremity
of the brooks
of
Egypt,
And for
a
bee
that
`is'
in the land of Asshur
.
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 have
come ,
and rested
all
of
them
in the desolate
valleys,
And in
holes
of the rocks, and
on
all the thorns,
And on
all
the
commendable
things
.
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 doth
the Lord shave,
By
a razor that
is
hired beyond the river,
By
the king of Asshur,
The
head ,
and the hair of the
feet
, Yea,
also
the
beard it
consumeth
.
On
that day a man will
raise
a young
cow
and two sheep
,
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in
that day ,
A man keepeth
alive
a heifer
of
the
herd,
And two of
the
flock
,
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
hath
come
to
pass,
From the abundance of the
yielding
of
milk he eateth
butter,
For butter
and
honey
doth
every
one
eat
Who is
left
in the heart
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
hath
come
to
pass,
in
that day, Every place where
there
are
a thousand vines ,
At
a thousand silverlings
, Is
for
briers and for
thorns.
Men
will
go
there
with bow
and arrow
, for
the land will
be
covered
with
briers
and thorns
.
With arrows
and with
bow
he
cometh
thither
, Because
all
the land is
brier
and thorn
.
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
with
a
mattock
are
kept
in
order,
Thither
cometh
not
the fear
of
brier
and
thorn,
And
it
hath
been
for the
sending
forth
of
ox,
And for
the
treading
of
sheep !'
