[1]And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147, the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, went upH5927[H8804] toward JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 against it, but couldH3201[H8804] not prevailH3898 against itH8736.
[2]And it was toldH5046[H8714] the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559[H8800], SyriaH758 is confederateH5117[H8804] with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128[H8799], and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128[H8800] withH6440 the windH7307.
[3]Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318[H8798] now to meetH7125[H8800] AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526[H8801] fieldH7704;
[4]And sayH559[H8804] unto him, Take heedH8104[H8734], and be quietH8252[H8685]; fearH3372[H8799] not, neither be faintheartedH7401[H8735][H3824] for the twoH8147 tailsH2180 of these smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 with SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425.
[5]Because SyriaH758, EphraimH669, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, have taken evilH7451 counselH3289[H8804] against thee, sayingH559,[H8800]
[6]Let us go upH5927[H8799] against JudahH3063, and vexH6973[H8686] it, and let us make a breachH1234[H8686] therein for us, and setH4427[H8686] a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870:
[7]ThusH3541 saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069, It shall not standH6965, neither shall it come to passH8799.
[8]For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within threescoreH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865[H8735], that it be not a peopleH5971.
[9]And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539[H8686], surely ye shall not be establishedH539.[H8735]
[10]Moreover the LORDH3068 spakeH1696[H8763] againH3254[H8686] unto AhazH271, sayingH559,[H8800]
[11]AskH7592[H8798] thee a signH226 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; askH7592[H8800] it either in the depthH6009[H8685], or in the heightH1361[H8687] aboveH4605.
[12]But AhazH271 saidH559[H8799], I will not askH7592[H8799], neither will I temptH5254[H8762][H853] the LORDH3068.
[13]And he saidH559[H8799], HearH8085[H8798] ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811[H8687] menH582, but will ye wearyH3811[H8686] my God alsoH430?
[14]Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414[H8799] you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205[H8802] a sonH1121, and shall callH7121[H8804] his nameH8034 ImmanuelH6005.[H410]
[15]ButterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall he eatH398[H8799], that he may knowH3045[H8800] to refuseH3988[H8800] the evilH7451, and chooseH977[H8800] the goodH2896.
[16]For before the childH5288 shall knowH3045[H8799] to refuseH3988[H8800] the evilH7451, and chooseH977[H8800] the goodH2896, the landH127 that thou abhorrestH6973[H8801] shall beH6440 forsakenH5800[H8735] of bothH8147 her kingsH4428.
[17]The LORDH3068 shall bringH935[H8686] upon thee, and upon thy peopleH5971, and upon thy father'sH1 houseH1004, daysH3117 that have not comeH935[H8804], from the dayH3117 that EphraimH669 departedH5493[H8800] from JudahH3063; even the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
[18]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall hissH8319[H8799] for the flyH2070 that is in the uttermost partH7097 of the riversH2975 of EgyptH4714, and for the beeH1682 that is in the landH776 of AssyriaH804.
[19]And they shall comeH935[H8804], and shall restH5117[H8804] all of them in the desolateH1327 valleysH5158, and in the holesH5357 of the rocksH5553, and upon all thornsH5285, and upon all bushesH5097.
[20]In the same dayH3117 shall the LordH136 shaveH1548[H8762] with a razorH8593 that is hiredH7917, namely, by them beyondH5676 the riverH5104, by the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, the headH7218, and the hairH8181 of the feetH7272: and it shall also consumeH5595[H8799] the beardH2206.
[21]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a manH376 shall nourishH2421[H8762] a youngH1241 cowH5697, and twoH8147 sheepH6629;
[22]And it shall come to pass, for the abundanceH7230 of milkH2461 that they shall giveH6213[H8800] he shall eatH398[H8799] butterH2529: for butterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall every one eatH398[H8799] that is leftH3498[H8737] inH7130 the landH776.
[23]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that every placeH4725 shall be, where there were a thousandH505 vinesH1612 at a thousandH505 silverlingsH3701, it shall even be for briersH8068 and thornsH7898.
[24]With arrowsH2671 and with bowsH7198 shall men comeH935[H8799] thither; because all the landH776 shall become briersH8068 and thornsH7898.
[25]And on all hillsH2022 that shall be diggedH5737[H8735] with the mattockH4576, there shall not come thitherH935[H8799] the fearH3374 of briersH8068 and thornsH7898: but it shall be for the sending forthH4916 of oxenH7794, and for the treadingH4823 of lesser cattleH7716.
