Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 007
007:001
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
007:002
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
007:003
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
007:004
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken
evil counsel against thee, saying
007:005
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
007:006
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it
come to pass
007:007
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
007:008
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
007:009
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying
007:010
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the
depth, or in the height above
007:011
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD
007:012
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
007:013
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel
007:014
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the
evil, and choose the good
007:015
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
007:016
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
007:017
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
007:018
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
007:019
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
007:020
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall
nourish a young cow, and two sheep
007:021
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
007:022
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
007:023
With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all
the land shall become briers and thorns
007:024
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
