Isaiah 7

Revised Version 1895

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 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, wentH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 againstH5921 it; but couldH3201 notH3808 prevailH3201 againstH5921 it. 2And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederate with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH7307, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the forestH3293 are movedH7307 with the windH7307. 3Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, GoH3318 forthH3318 nowH4994 to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and Shear-jashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduit of the upperH5945 poolH1295, in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704; 4and sayH559 unto him, TakeH8104 heedH8104, and be quietH8252; fearH3372 notH408, neitherH408 letH408 thine heartH3824 be faintH7401, becauseH413 of theseH428 twoH8147 tailsH2180 of smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 and SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. 5BecauseH3588 SyriaH758 hath counselled evilH7451 againstH5921 thee, EphraimH669 also, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, sayingH559, 6Let usH413 goH5927 upH5927 againstH413 JudahH3063, and vex it, and let usH413 makeH1234 a breachH1234 therein for usH413, and setH5927 upH5927 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, evenH853 the sonH1121 of TabeelH2870: 7thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136, It shall notH3808 standH6965, neitherH3808 shall it comeH1961 to passH1961. 8For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526: and within threescore and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be broken in pieces, that it be notH3588 a peopleH5971: 9and the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah’s sonH1121. IfH518 ye will notH3808 believeH539, surelyH3588 ye shall notH3808 be establishedH539. 10And the LORDH3068 spake againH3254 unto AhazH271, sayingH559, 11AskH7592 thee a signH226 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; askH7592 it eitherH176 in the depth, or in the height aboveH4605. 12But AhazH271 saidH559, I will notH3808 askH7592, neitherH3808 will I tempt the LORDH3068. 13And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye nowH4994, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; is it a smallH4592 thingH4592 for youH3588 to wearyH3811 menH376, that ye will wearyH3811 my GodH430 also? 14Therefore the LordH136 himselfH1931 shall giveH5414 youH5414 a signH226; beholdH2009, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH6005. 15ButterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall he eatH398, when he knoweth to refuse the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896. 16For beforeH6440 the childH5288 shall knowH3045 to refuse the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896, the landH127 whoseH834 twoH8147 kingsH4428 thou abhorrest shall be forsaken. 17The LORDH3068 shall bringH935 uponH5921 thee, and uponH5921 thy peopleH5971, and uponH5921 thy father’sH1 houseH1004, daysH3117 that have notH3808 comeH935, from the dayH3117 that EphraimH669 departedH5493 from JudahH3063; evenH3808 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 18And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall hissH8319 for the flyH2070 that is in the uttermost partH1931 of the riversH2975 of EgyptH4714, and for the beeH1682 that is in the landH776 of AssyriaH804. 19And they shall comeH935, and shall restH5117 allH3605 of them in the desolate valleysH5158, and in the holes of the rocksH5553, and uponH935 allH3605 thorns, and uponH935 allH3605 pastures. 20In that dayH3117 shall the LordH136 shaveH1548 with a razorH8593 that is hiredH7917, whichH1931 is in the parts beyondH5676 the RiverH5104, evenH1571 with the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, the headH7218 and the hairH8181 of the feetH7272: and it shall also consume the beardH2206. 21And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that a manH376 shall nourish a youngH1241 cow, and twoH8147 sheepH6629; 22and it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, for the abundanceH7230 of milkH2461 that they shall giveH398 he shall eatH398 butterH2529: for butterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall everyH3605 one eatH398 that is leftH3498 in the midstH7130 of the landH776. 23And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that everyH3605 placeH4725, whereH834 there were a thousandH505 vinesH1612 at a thousandH505 silverlings, shall even be for briersH7898 and thornsH7898. 24With arrowsH2678 and with bowH7198 shall one comeH935 thither; becauseH3588 allH3605 the landH776 shall be briersH7898 and thornsH7898. 25And allH3605 the hillsH2022 that were digged with the mattock; thou shalt notH3808 comeH935 thither for fearH3374 of briersH7898 and thornsH7898, but it shall be for the sendingH4916 forth of oxenH7794, and for the treading of sheepH7716.
