* And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham , the son of Uzziah , king of Judah , that Rezin the king of Syria , and Pekah the son of Remaliah , king of Israel Yisra #el #, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it , but could not prevail against it . * And it was told the house of David , saying , Syria is confederate with Ephraim . And his heart was moved , and the heart of his people , as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind . * Then said the LORD unto Isaiah Y @sha #yah #, Go forth now to meet Ahaz , thou , and Shearjashub Sh @#arthy son , at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fullers field ; * And say unto him , Take heed , and be quiet ; fear not , neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands , for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria , and of the son of Remaliah . * Because Syria , Ephraim , and the son of Remaliah , have taken evil counsel against thee , saying , * Let us go up against Judah , and vex it , and let us make a breach therein for us , and set a king in the midst of it , even the son of Tabeal tab @#el #: * Thus saith the Lord GOD , It shall not stand , neither shall it come to pass . * For the head of Syria is Damascus , and the head of Damascus is Rezin ; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken , that it be not a people . * And the head of Ephraim is Samaria , and the head of Samaria is Remaliahs son . If ye will not believe , surely ye shall not be established . * Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz , saying , * Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God ; ask it either in the depth , or in the height above ma #al #. * But Ahaz said , I will not ask , neither will I tempt the LORD . * And he said , Hear ye now , O house of David ; Is it a small thing for you to weary men , but will ye weary my God also ? * Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign ; Behold , a virgin shall conceive , and bear a son , and shall call his name Immanuel #Immanuw #el #. * Butter and honey shall he eat , that he may know to refuse the evil , and choose the good . * For before the child shall know to refuse the evil , and choose the good , the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings . * The LORD shall bring upon thee , and upon thy people , and upon thy fathers house , days that have not come , from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah ; even the king of Assyria . * And it shall come to pass in that day , that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt , and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria . * And they shall come , and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys , and in the holes of the rocks , and upon all thorns na #atsuwts #, and upon all bushes . * In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired , namely , by them beyond the river , by the king of Assyria , the head ro #sh #, and the hair of the feet : and it shall also consume the beard . * And it shall come to pass in that day , that a man shall nourish a young cow , and two sheep tso #n #; * And it shall come to pass , for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter chem #ah #: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land . * And it shall come to pass in that day , that every place shall be , where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings , it shall even be for briers and thorns . * With arrows and with bows shall men come thither ; because all the land shall become briers and thorns . * And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock ma #der #, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns : but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen , and for the treading of lesser cattle .
