Chapter
7
- 7:1
- 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.
- 7:2
- 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.
- 7:3
- 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;
- 7:4
- 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.
- 7:5
- Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken
evil counsel against thee, saying,
- 7:6
- 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:
- 7:7
- Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall
it come to pass.
- 7:8
- 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.
- 7:9
- 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.
- 7:10
- Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
- 7:11
- Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the
depth, or in the height above.
- 7:12
- But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
- 7:13
- 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?
- 7:14
- Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold,
a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his
name Immanuel.
- 7:15
- Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse
the evil, and choose the good.
- 7:16
- 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.
- 7:17
- 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.
- 7:18
- 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.
- 7:19
- 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.
- 7:20
- 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.
- 7:21
- And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish
a young cow, and two sheep;
- 7:22
- 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.
- 7:23
- 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.
- 7:24
- With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because
all the land shall become briers and thorns.
- 7:25
- 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.
