The Book of Isaiah

Chapter 7

¹And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem for war against it, but could not wage war against it.

²And it was told to the house of David, saying, "Aram has settled upon Ephraim." And his heart and the heart of his people shook like the shaking of trees of the forest before the wind.

³And YHWH said to Isaiah, "Go out, please, to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son, to the end of the conduit of the upper pool, at the highway of the fuller's field."

⁴And you shall say to him,

"Be careful and be quiet;

do not fear, and let your heart not be faint

on account of these two stumps of smoking firebrands,

in the burning anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.

⁵Because Aram has counseled evil against you

Ephraim and the son of Remaliah — saying:

⁶'Let us go up against Judah and terrify it

and breach it for ourselves

and install a king in its midst — the son of Tabeel',

⁷thus says the Lord YHWH:

'It shall not stand, and it shall not come to pass.

⁸For the head of Aram is Damascus,

and the head of Damascus is Rezin

, and within sixty-five years

Ephraim shall be shattered from being a people,

⁹and the head of Ephraim is Samaria,

and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.

If you do not believe,

you shall not be established.'"

¹⁰And YHWH spoke again to Ahaz, saying:

¹¹"Ask for yourself a sign from YHWH your God;

make deep the request, or make high upward."

¹²And Ahaz said,

"I will not ask,

and I will not test YHWH."

¹³And he said, "Hear, please, O house of David: Is it too small a thing for you to weary men, that you weary my God also?

¹⁴Therefore the Lord Himself shall give to you a sign:

Behold, the young woman is pregnant and bearing a son,

and she shall call his name Immanuel.

¹⁵Curds and honey he shall eat

when he knows to refuse evil and choose good.

¹⁶For before the boy knows to refuse evil and choose good,

the land whose two kings you dread shall be forsaken."

¹⁷YHWH shall bring upon you, and upon your people,

and upon the house of your father,

days which have not come

since the day Ephraim departed from Judah

the king of Assyria.

¹⁸And it shall be in that day:

YHWH shall whistle for the fly

that is at the end of the channels of Egypt,

and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

¹⁹And they shall come and settle, all of them,

in the wadis of the steep ravines,

and in the clefts of the rocks,

and in all the thorn-bushes,

and in all the watering places.

²⁰In that day the Lord shall shave

with the hired razor from beyond the River

with the king of Assyria,

the head, and the hair of the feet;

and also the beard it shall sweep away.

²¹And it shall be in that day:

a man shall keep alive a young cow and two of the flock.

²²And it shall be, from the abundance of milk-producing,

he shall eat curds;

for curds and honey shall everyone remaining

in the midst of the land eat.

²³And it shall be in that day:

every place where there were a thousand vines

at a thousand silver

shall become briers and thorns.

²⁴With arrows and with a bow one shall come there,

for all the land shall become briers and thorns.

²⁵And all the hills which with the hoe were hoed,

you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns,

and it shall become a place for the ranging of oxen

and the trampling of sheep.
