Isaiah 7 (WEBP)

[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 7:14 “Immanuel” means “God with us”.
Isaiah 7:23 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 1000 shekels is about 10 kilograms or 22 pounds.

Isaiah 7 (KJVS)

[1] 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, went up () toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could () not prevail () against it.
[2] 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.
[3] Then said () the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth () now to meet () Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s () field;
[4] 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.
[5] Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel () against thee, saying, ()
[6] 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:
[7] thus saith () the Lord God, It shall not stand, () neither shall it come to pass.
[8] 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.
[9] And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, () surely ye shall not be established. ()
[10] Moreover the Lord spake () again () unto Ahaz, saying, ()
[11] Ask () thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask () it either in the depth, () or in the height () above.
[12] But Ahaz said, () I will not ask, () neither will I tempt () the Lord.
[13] 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?
[14] Therefore the Lord himself shall give () you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear () a son, and shall call () his name Immanuel.
[15] Butter and honey shall he eat, () that he may know () to refuse () the evil, and choose () the good.
[16] 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.
[17] The Lord shall bring () upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, () from the day that Ephraim departed () from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
[18] 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.
[19] 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, and upon all bushes.
[20] 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, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume () the beard.
[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish () a young cow, and two sheep;
[22] and it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give () he shall eat () butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat () that is left () in the land.
[23] 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.
[24] With arrows and with bows shall men come () thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
[25] And on all hills that shall be digged () with the mattock, 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.

Isaiah 7 (BYZ)

[1] και εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις αχαζ του ιωαθαμ του υιου οζιου βασιλεως ιουδα ανεβη ραασσων βασιλευς αραμ και φακεε υιος ρομελιου βασιλευς ισραηλ επι ιερουσαλημ πολεμησαι αυτην και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν πολιορκησαι αυτην
[2] και ανηγγελη εις τον οικον δαυιδ λεγοντες συνεφωνησεν αραμ προς τον εφραιμ και εξεστη η ψυχη αυτου και η ψυχη του λαου αυτου ον τροπον οταν εν δρυμω ξυλον υπο πνευματος σαλευθη
[3] και ειπεν κυριος προς ησαιαν εξελθε εις συναντησιν αχαζ συ και ο καταλειφθεις ιασουβ ο υιος σου προς την κολυμβηθραν της ανω οδου του αγρου του γναφεως
[4] και ερεις αυτω φυλαξαι του ησυχασαι και μη φοβου μηδε η ψυχη σου ασθενειτω απο των δυο ξυλων των δαλων των καπνιζομενων τουτων οταν γαρ οργη του θυμου μου γενηται παλιν ιασομαι
[5] και ο υιος του αραμ και ο υιος του ρομελιου οτι εβουλευσαντο βουλην πονηραν περι σου λεγοντες
[6] αναβησομεθα εις την ιουδαιαν και συλλαλησαντες αυτοις αποστρεψομεν αυτους προς ημας και βασιλευσομεν αυτης τον υιον ταβεηλ
[7] ταδε λεγει κυριος σαβαωθ ου μη εμμεινη η βουλη αυτη ουδε εσται
[8] αλλ η κεφαλη αραμ δαμασκος αλλ ετι εξηκοντα και πεντε ετων εκλειψει η βασιλεια εφραιμ απο λαου
[9] και η κεφαλη εφραιμ σομορων και η κεφαλη σομορων υιος του ρομελιου και εαν μη πιστευσητε ουδε μη συνητε
[10] και προσεθετο κυριος λαλησαι τω αχαζ λεγων
[11] αιτησαι σεαυτω σημειον παρα κυριου θεου σου εις βαθος η εις υψος
[12] και ειπεν αχαζ ου μη αιτησω ουδ ου μη πειρασω κυριον
[13] και ειπεν ακουσατε δη οικος δαυιδ μη μικρον υμιν αγωνα παρεχειν ανθρωποις και πως κυριω παρεχετε αγωνα
[14] δια τουτο δωσει κυριος αυτος υμιν σημειον ιδου η παρθενος εν γαστρι εξει και τεξεται υιον και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου εμμανουηλ
[15] βουτυρον και μελι φαγεται πριν η γνωναι αυτον η προελεσθαι πονηρα εκλεξεται το αγαθον
[16] διοτι πριν η γνωναι το παιδιον αγαθον η κακον απειθει πονηρια του εκλεξασθαι το αγαθον και καταλειφθησεται η γη ην συ φοβη απο προσωπου των δυο βασιλεων
[17] αλλα επαξει ο θεος επι σε και επι τον λαον σου και επι τον οικον του πατρος σου ημερας αι ουπω ηκασιν αφ ης ημερας αφειλεν εφραιμ απο ιουδα τον βασιλεα των ασσυριων
[18] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη συριει κυριος μυιαις ο κυριευει μερους ποταμου αιγυπτου και τη μελισση η εστιν εν χωρα ασσυριων
[19] και ελευσονται παντες και αναπαυσονται εν ταις φαραγξι της χωρας και εν ταις τρωγλαις των πετρων και εις τα σπηλαια και εις πασαν ραγαδα και εν παντι ξυλω
[20] εν τη ημερα εκεινη ξυρησει κυριος τω ξυρω τω μεγαλω και μεμεθυσμενω ο εστιν περαν του ποταμου βασιλεως ασσυριων την κεφαλην και τας τριχας των ποδων και τον πωγωνα αφελει
[21] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη θρεψει ανθρωπος δαμαλιν βοων και δυο προβατα
[22] και εσται απο του πλειστον ποιειν γαλα βουτυρον και μελι φαγεται πας ο καταλειφθεις επι της γης
[23] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη πας τοπος ου εαν ωσιν χιλιαι αμπελοι χιλιων σικλων εις χερσον εσονται και εις ακανθαν
[24] μετα βελους και τοξευματος εισελευσονται εκει οτι χερσος και ακανθα εσται πασα η γη
[25] και παν ορος αροτριωμενον αροτριαθησεται και ου μη επελθη εκει φοβος εσται γαρ απο της χερσου και ακανθης εις βοσκημα προβατου και εις καταπατημα βοος
