Berean Standard Bible
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
.
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 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.
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.
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 ;
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 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.
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.
Because
Syria
, Ephraim ,
and the son of Remaliah, have
taken
evil
counsel
against
thee
, saying ,
For
Aram
, along
with
Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has
plotted
your
ruin
, saying :
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 :
‘
Let us invade
Judah, terrorize
it, and divide
it among
ourselves.
Then
we
can
install
the son of Tabeal over
it
as
king.’
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ,
It shall
not stand,
neither
shall
it come
to
pass
.
But
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
It will
not arise;
it will
not
happen
.
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.
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.
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
.
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
. ’”
Moreover
the LORD spake
again
unto
Ahaz, saying,
Again
the LORD spoke
to
Ahaz, saying,
Ask thee
a sign of
the LORD thy
God ;
ask
it
either
in
the
depth
, or in
the height
above
.
“
Ask for
a sign from
the LORD your
God, whether
from
the
depths
of
Sheol
or the heights
of
heaven
. ”
But Ahaz said
, I will not ask ,
neither
will
I tempt
the LORD.
But Ahaz replied
, “
I will not ask ;
I will
not
test
the LORD. ”
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
?
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
?
Therefore the Lord himself shall
give you a sign ;
Behold, a
virgin shall
conceive,
and bear
a son, and shall
call his
name
Immanuel.
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.
Butter
and
honey
shall
he
eat,
that
he may
know
to refuse
the
evil ,
and choose the
good.
By
the
time
He knows
enough
to reject
evil and choose good ,
He
will
be
eating
curds
and
honey
.
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.
For before the boy
knows
enough
to reject
evil and choose good, the land of the
two
kings you
dread
will
be
laid
waste
.
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.
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. ”
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.
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 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
.
And they will
all
come and settle
in the steep
ravines
and clefts
of the rocks, in
all the
thornbushes
and watering
holes
.
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.
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
.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that day ,
that
a man shall
nourish
a young cow ,
and two sheep ;
On
that day a man will
raise
a young cow and two sheep ,
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.
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
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.
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
.
With arrows
and with
bows
shall
men
come
thither;
because
all
the land shall
become
briers and thorns.
Men
will
go
there
with bow
and arrow,
for
the land will
be
covered
with
briers and thorns.
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
.
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
.
