ASV_Strong : Isaiah 7
1. And it came to pass in the days[H3117] of Ahaz[H271] the son[H1121] of Jotham[H3147], the son[H1121] of Uzziah[H5818], king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], that Rezin[H7526] the king[H4428] of Syria[H758], and Pekah[H6492] the son[H1121] of Remaliah[H7425], king[H4428] of Israel[H3478], went up[H5927] to Jerusalem[H3389] to war[H4421] against it[H3201], but could not prevail against it[H3898].
2. And it was told[H5046] the house[H1004] of David[H1732], saying[H559], Syria[H758] is confederate[H5117] with Ephraim[H669]. And his heart[H3824] trembled[H5128], and the heart[H3824] of his people[H5971], as the trees[H6086] of the forest[H3293] tremble[H5128] with[H6440] the wind[H7307].
3. Then said[H559] Jehovah[H3068] unto Isaiah[H3470], Go forth[H3318] now to meet[H7125] Ahaz[H271], thou[H7610], and Shear-jashub thy son[H1121], at the end[H7097] of the conduit[H8585] of the upper[H5945] pool[H1295], in the highway[H4546] of the fuller[H3526]'s field[H7704];
4. and say[H559] unto him[H8104], Take heed, and be quiet[H8252]; fear[H3372] not[H7401], neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two[H8147] tails[H2180] of smoking[H6226] firebrands[H181], for the fierce[H2750] anger[H639] of Rezin[H7526] and Syria[H758], and of the son[H1121] of Remaliah[H7425].
5. Because Syria[H758], Ephraim[H669], and the son[H1121] of Remaliah[H7425], have purposed[H3289] evil[H7451] against thee[H559], saying,
6. Let us go up[H5927] against Judah[H3063], and vex[H6973] it[H1234], and let us make a breach therein for us[H4427], and set up a king[H4428] in the midst[H8432] of it[H1121], even the son of Tabeel[H2870];
7. thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069], It shall not stand[H6965], neither shall it come to pass.
8. For the head[H7218] of Syria[H758] is Damascus[H1834], and the head[H7218] of Damascus[H1834] is Rezin[H7526]; and within threescore[H8346] and five[H2568] years[H8141] shall Ephraim[H669] be broken[H2865] in pieces[H5971], so that it shall not be a people:
9. and the head[H7218] of Ephraim[H669] is Samaria[H8111], and the head[H7218] of Samaria[H8111] is Remaliah[H7425]'s son[H1121]. If ye will not believe[H539], surely ye shall not be established[H539].
10. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] again[H3254] unto Ahaz[H271], saying[H559],
11. Ask[H7592] thee a sign[H226] of Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430]; ask[H7592] it either in the depth[H6009], or in the height[H1361] above[H4605].
12. But Ahaz[H271] said[H559], I will not ask[H7592], neither will I tempt[H5254] Jehovah[H3068].
13. And he said[H559], Hear[H8085] ye now[H1004], O house of David[H1732]: Is it a small thing[H4592] for you to weary[H3811] men[H582], that ye will weary[H3811] my God also[H430]?
14. Therefore the Lord[H136] himself will give[H5414] you a sign[H226]: behold[H5959], a virgin shall conceive[H2030], and bear[H3205] a son[H1121], and shall call[H7121] his name[H8034] Immanuel[H6005].
15. Butter[H2529] and honey[H1706] shall he eat[H398], when he knoweth[H3045] to refuse[H3988] the evil[H7451], and choose[H977] the good[H2896].
16. For before the child[H5288] shall know[H3045] to refuse[H3988] the evil[H7451], and choose[H977] the good[H2896], the land[H127] whose two[H8147] kings[H4428] thou abhorrest[H6973] shall be[H6440] forsaken[H5800].
17. Jehovah[H3068] will bring[H935] upon thee[H5971], and upon thy people, and upon thy father[H1]'s house[H1004], days[H3117] that have not come[H935], from the day[H3117] that Ephraim[H669] departed[H5493] from Judah[H3063]— even the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804].
18. And it shall come to pass in that day[H3117], that Jehovah[H3068] will hiss[H8319] for the fly[H2070] that is in the uttermost part[H7097] of the rivers[H2975] of Egypt[H4714], and for the bee[H1682] that is in the land[H776] of Assyria[H804].
19. And they shall come[H935], and shall rest[H5117] all of them in the desolate[H1327] valleys[H5158], and in the clefts[H5357] of the rocks[H5553], and upon all thorn-hedges[H5285], and upon all pastures[H5097].
20. In that day[H3117] will the Lord[H136] shave[H1548] with a razor[H8593] that is hired[H7917] in the parts beyond[H5676] the River[H5104], even with the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804], the head[H7218] and the hair[H8181] of the feet[H7272]; and it shall also consume[H5595] the beard[H2206].
21. And it shall come to pass in that day[H3117], that a man[H376] shall keep alive[H2421] a young[H1241] cow[H5697], and two[H8147] sheep[H6629];
22. and it shall come to pass[H7230], that because of the abundance of milk[H2461] which they shall give[H6213] he shall eat[H398] butter[H2529]: for butter[H2529] and honey[H1706] shall every one eat[H398] that is left[H3498] in[H7130] the midst of the land[H776].
23. And it shall come to pass in that day[H3117], that every place[H4725], where there were a thousand[H505] vines[H1612] at a thousand[H505] silverlings[H3701], shall be for briers[H8068] and thorns[H7898].
24. With arrows[H2671] and with bow[H7198] shall one come[H935] thither[H776], because all the land shall be briers[H8068] and thorns[H7898].
25. And all the hills[H2022] that were digged[H5737] with the mattock[H4576], thou shalt not come thither[H935] for fear[H3374] of briers[H8068] and thorns[H7898]; but it shall be for the sending forth[H4916] of oxen[H7794], and for the treading[H4823] of sheep[H7716].
