[1] In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. [2] David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind. [3] Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field. [4] Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. [5] Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying, [6] “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.” [7] This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.” [8] For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people. [9] The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’” [10] Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying, [11] “Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” [12] But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.” [13] He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also? [14] Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.ⓘ [15] He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good. [16] For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken. [17] Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria. [18] It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle 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. [19] They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures. [20] In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard. [21] It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep. [22] It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land. [23] It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,ⓘ will be for briers and thorns. [24] People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns. [25] All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”

Isaiah and Ahaz

[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 toward Jerusalem H3389 to war H4421 against H5921 it, but could H3201 not H3808 prevail H3898 against it. [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 was moved, H5128 and the heart H3824 of his people, H5971 as the trees H6086 of the wood H3293 are moved H5128 with H6440 the wind. H7307 [3] Then said H559 the Lord H3068 unto H413 Isaiah, H3470 Go forth H3318 now to meet H7125 Ahaz, H271 thou, and Shearjashub H7610ⓘ thy son, H1121 at the end H7097 of the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool H1295 in the highway H4546§ of the fuller’s H3526 field; H7704 [4] and say H559 unto H413 him, Take heed, H8104 and be quiet; H8252 fear H3372 not, neither be fainthearted H7401§ H3824 for the two H8147 tails H2180 of these smoking H6226 firebrands, H181 for the fierce H2750 anger H639 of Rezin H7526 with Syria, H758 and of the son H1121 of Remaliah. H7425 [5] Because H3588 Syria, H758 Ephraim, H669 and the son H1121 of Remaliah, H7425 have taken evil H7451 counsel H3289 against H5921 thee, saying, H559 [6] Let us go up H5927 against Judah, H3063 and vex H6973§ it, and let us make a breach H1234 therein for us, and set H4427 a king H4428 in the midst H8432 H853 of it, even the son H1121 of Tabeal: H2870 [7] thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 God, H3069 It shall H6965 not H3808 stand, H6965 neither shall it come to pass. [8] For H3588 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 that it be not a people. H5971§ [9] And the head H7218 of Ephraim H669 is Samaria, H8111 and the head H7218 of Samaria H8111 is Remaliah’s H7425 son. H1121 If ye will not believe, H539 surely H3588 ye shall not be established. H539§

The Sign Immanuel

[10] Moreover the Lord H3068 spake H1696§ again H3254 unto H413 Ahaz, H271 saying, H559 [11] Ask H7592 thee a sign H226 of the Lord 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 H7592 not H3808 ask, H7592 neither will I tempt H5254 H853 the Lord. H3068 [13] And he said, H559 Hear H8085 ye now, O house H1004 of David; H1732 Is it a small thing H4592 for H3588 you to weary H3811 men, H582 but will ye weary H3811 H853 my God H430 also? [14] Therefore the Lord H136 himself shall give H5414 you a sign; H226 Behold, a virgin H5959 shall conceive, H2030 and bear H3205 a son, H1121 and shall call H7121 his name H8034 Immanuel. H6005 H410 [15] Butter H2529 and honey H1706 shall he eat, H398 that he may know H3045 to refuse H3988 the evil, H7451 and choose H977 the good. H2896 [16] For H3588 before the child H5288 shall know H3045 to refuse H3988 the evil, H7451 and choose H977 the good, H2896 the land H127 that thou abhorrest H6973 shall be H6440 forsaken H5800 of both H8147 her kings. H4428 [17] The Lord H3068 shall bring H935 upon H5921 thee, and upon thy people, H5971 and upon thy father’s H1 house, H1004 days H3117 that have not come, H935 from the day H3117 that Ephraim H669 departed H5493 from Judah; H3063 H853 even the king H4428 of Assyria. H804 [18] And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that the Lord H3068 shall 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 H3605 of them in the desolate H1327 valleys, H5158 and in the holes H5357 of the rocks, H5553 and upon all thorns, H5285 and upon all bushes. H5097§ [20] In the same day H3117 shall the Lord H136 shave H1548 with a razor H8593 that is hired, H7917 namely, by them beyond H5676 the river, H5104 by the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 H853 the head, H7218 and the hair H8181 of the feet: H7272 and it shall also consume H5595 H853 the beard. H2206 [21] And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that a man H376 shall nourish H2421 a young H1241 cow, H5697 and two H8147 sheep; H6629 [22] and it shall come to pass, for the abundance H7230 of milk H2461 that they shall give H6213 he shall eat H398 butter: H2529 for H3588 butter H2529 and honey H1706 shall every one eat H398 that is left H3498 in H7130 the land. H776§ [23] And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that every place H4725 shall be, where there were a thousand H505 vines H1612 at a thousand H505 silverlings, H3701 it shall even be for briers H8068 and thorns. H7898 [24] With arrows H2671 and with bows H7198 shall men come H935 thither; because all the land H776 shall become briers H8068 and thorns. H7898 [25] And on all hills H2022 that shall be digged H5737 with the mattock, H4576 there H8033 shall not come thither H935 the 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 lesser cattle.
