Isaiah 7:15-22
15He will eat 1curds and honey 2at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. 163For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, 4the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken. 17The Lord will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house such days as have never come since the day that 5Ephraim separated from Judah, the 6king of Assyria.”
18In that day the Lord will 7whistle for the fly that is in the 89remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19They will all come and settle on the steep 10ravines, on the 11ledges of the cliffs, 12on all the thorn bushes and on all the 13watering places.
20In that day the Lord will 14shave with a 15razor, 16hired from regions beyond 17the 18Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.
21Now in that day a man may keep alive a 19heifer and a pair of sheep; 22and because of the abundance of the milk produced he will eat curds, for everyone that is left within the land will eat 20curds and honey.
