Isaiah:7-8




lesserot@Isaiah:7:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Jotham, the son of ‘Uzziyahu, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu, the king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it; but were not able to make an attack upon it.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told unto the house of David, saying, Syria is encamped with Ephraim; and his heart trembled, with the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are shaken before the wind.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:3 @ And the Lord said unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou with Shear–yashub thy son, to the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the washer’s field;

lesserot@Isaiah:7:4 @ And thou shalt say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, and let thy heart not become faint because of these two stumps of smoking firebrands, before the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remalyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:5 @ Forasmuch as Syria, Ephraim and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up as king in the midst of it the son of Tabeal:

lesserot@Isaiah:7:7 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not come to pass.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:9 @ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahu’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:10 @ And the Lord continued to speak unto Achaz, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:7:11 @ Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God; ask it in the depth, or high up above.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Achaz said, I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:13 @ And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that ye will weary also my God?

lesserot@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: behold, this young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and she shall call his name ‘Immanu–el,.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:15 @ Cream and honey shall he eat, so soon as he knoweth to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before yet the child shall know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, shall be forsaken the land, of the kings of which thou feelest dread.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:17 @ The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah,––the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn–hedges, and upon all bushes.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:20 @ On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:21 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish one young cow, and two sheep;

lesserot@Isaiah:7:22 @ And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be,––yea, this shall be to briers and thorns.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:25 @ And all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:1 @ And the Lord said unto me, Take thyself a large table, and write on it with distinct letters, Lemaher–shalal–chash–bas.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I was to summon for myself trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zecharyahu the son of Yeberechyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I came near unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher–shalal–chash–bas.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:4 @ For before yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:5 @ And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:8:6 @ Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu’s son:

lesserot@Isaiah:8:7 @ Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river,––the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his banks;

lesserot@Isaiah:8:8 @ And he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O ‘Immanu–el.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:9 @ Associate yourselves, O ye people, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of the far portions of the earth: gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, yet shall it come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand firm; for with us is God.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:11 @ For thus said the Lord to me with the strength of prophecy, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:8:12 @ Call ye not a conspiracy all that this people may call a conspiracy, and what it feareth shall ye not fear, and be not terrified.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:13 @ The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your terror.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:14 @ And he will be for a sanctuary; but also for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to fall over unto both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many shall stumble over them, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and be caught.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, seal up the law among my disciples.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait for the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope for him.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for tokens in Israel, from the Lord of hosts who dwelleth on mount Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they shall say unto you, "Inquire of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards, that whisper, and that mutter:" should not a people inquire of their God? in behalf of the living of the dead?

lesserot@Isaiah:8:20 @ to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no light.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:21 @ And the shall pass through, hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:22 @ And they will look unto the earth; and behold there are trouble and darkness, dimness of oppression, and they shall be scattered into obscurity.
