Isaiah 7:13-25
13Then he saidH559, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, O 1houseH1004 of DavidH1732! Is it tooH4480 slightH4592 a thingH4592 for you to tryH3811 the patienceH3811 of menH376, that you will 2tryH3811 the patienceH3811 of 3my GodH430 as wellH1571? 14ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 HimselfH1931 will giveH5414 you a signH226: BeholdH2009, 4a 5virginH5959 will be with childH2030 and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and she will callH7121 His nameH8034 67ImmanuelH6005. 15He will eatH398 8curdsH2529 and honeyH1706 9at the time He knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896. 1610For beforeH2962 the boyH5288 will knowH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896, 11the landH127 whoseH834 twoH8147 kingsH4428 you dreadH6973 will be forsakenH5800. 17The LordH3068 will bringH935 on you, on your peopleH5971, and on your father’sH1 houseH1004 suchH834 daysH3117 as have neverH3808 comeH935 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that 12EphraimH669 separatedH5493 from JudahH3063, the 13kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.”
18In that dayH3117 the LordH3068 will 14whistleH8319 for the flyH2070 that is in the 1516remotestH7097 partH7097 of the riversH2975 of EgyptH4714 and for the beeH1682 that is in the landH776 of AssyriaH804. 19They will allH3605 comeH935 and settleH5117 on the steepH1327 17ravinesH5158, on the 18ledgesH5357 of the cliffsH5553, 19on allH3605 the thornH5285 bushesH5285 and on allH3605 the 20wateringH5097 placesH5097.
20In that dayH3117 the LordH136 will 21shaveH1548 with a 22razorH8593, 23hiredH7917 from regionsH5676 beyondH5676 24the 25EuphratesH5104 (that is, with the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804), the headH7218 and the hairH8181 of the legsH7272; and it will alsoH1571 removeH5595 the beardH2206.
21Now in that dayH3117 a manH376 may keepH2421 aliveH2421 a 26heiferH5697 and a pairH8147 of sheepH6629; 22and becauseH4480 of the abundanceH7230 of the milkH2461 producedH6213 he will eatH398 curdsH2529, for everyoneH3605 that is leftH3498 withinH7130 the landH776 will eatH398 27curdsH2529 and honeyH1706.
23And it will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117, 28that everyH3605 placeH4725 whereH834H8033 there used to be a thousandH505 vinesH1612, valued at a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701, will becomeH1961 29briarsH8068 and thornsH7898. 24People will comeH935 thereH8033 with bowsH7198 and arrowsH2671 becauseH3588 allH3605 the landH776 will be briarsH8068 and thornsH7898. 25As for allH3605 the hillsH2022 whichH834 used to be cultivatedH5737 with the hoeH4576, you will not goH935 thereH8033 for fearH3374 of briarsH8068 and thornsH7898; but they will becomeH1961 a placeH4916 for 3031pasturingH4916 oxenH7794 and for sheepH7716 to trampleH4823.
