7:1 In
the
days
of
Ahaz
the
son
of
Jotham,
son
of
Uzziah,
king
of
Judah,
Rezin
the
king
of
Syria
and
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah
the
king
of
Israel
came
up
to
Jerusalem
to
wage
war
against
it,
but
could
not
yet
mount
an
attack
against
it.
7:2 When
the
house
of
David
was
told,
"Syria
is
in
league
with
Ephraim,"
the
heart
of
Ahaz
and
the
heart
of
his
people
shook
as
the
trees
of
the
forest
shake
before
the
wind.
7:3 And
the
LORD
said
to
Isaiah,
"Go
out
to
meet
Ahaz,
you
and
Shear-jashub
your
son,
at
the
end
of
the
conduit
of
the
upper
pool
on
the
highway
to
the
Washer's
Field.
7:4 And
say
to
him,
'Be
careful,
be
quiet,
do
not
fear,
and
do
not
let
your
heart
be
faint
because
of
these
two
smoldering
stumps
of
firebrands,
at
the
fierce
anger
of
Rezin
and
Syria
and
the
son
of
Remaliah.
7:5 Because
Syria,
with
Ephraim
and
the
son
of
Remaliah,
has
devised
evil
against
you,
saying,
7:6 "Let
us
go
up
against
Judah
and
terrify
it,
and
let
us
conquer
it
for
ourselves,
and
set
up
the
son
of
Tabeel
as
king
in
the
midst
of
it,"
7:7 thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
"'It
shall
not
stand,
and
it
shall
not
come
to
pass.
7:8 For
the
head
of
Syria
is
Damascus,
and
the
head
of
Damascus
is
Rezin.
And
within
sixty-five
years
Ephraim
will
be
shattered
from
being
a
people.
7:9 And
the
head
of
Ephraim
is
Samaria,
and
the
head
of
Samaria
is
the
son
of
Remaliah.
If
you
are
not
firm
in
faith,
you
will
not
be
firm
at
all.'"
7:10 Again
the
LORD
spoke
to
Ahaz,
7:11 "Ask
a
sign
of
the
LORD
your
God;
let
it
be
deep
as
Sheol
or
high
as
heaven."
7:12 But
Ahaz
said,
"I
will
not
ask,
and
I
will
not
put
the
LORD
to
the
test."
7:13 And
he
said,
"Hear
then,
O
house
of
David!
Is
it
too
little
for
you
to
weary
men,
that
you
weary
my
God
also
7:14 Therefore
the
Lord
himself
will
give
you
a
sign.
Behold,
the
virgin
shall
conceive
and
bear
a
son,
and
shall
call
his
name
Immanuel.
7:15 He
shall
eat
curds
and
honey
when
he
knows
how
to
refuse
the
evil
and
choose
the
good.
7:16 For
before
the
boy
knows
how
to
refuse
the
evil
and
choose
the
good,
the
land
whose
two
kings
you
dread
will
be
deserted.
7:17 The
LORD
will
bring
upon
you
and
upon
your
people
and
upon
your
father's
house
such
days
as
have
not
come
since
the
day
that
Ephraim
departed
from
Judah--the
king
of
Assyria."
7:18 In
that
day
the
LORD
will
whistle
for
the
fly
that
is
at
the
end
of
the
streams
of
Egypt,
and
for
the
bee
that
is
in
the
land
of
Assyria.
7:19 And
they
will
all
come
and
settle
in
the
steep
ravines,
and
in
the
clefts
of
the
rocks,
and
on
all
the
thornbushes,
and
on
all
the
pastures.
7:20 In
that
day
the
Lord
will
shave
with
a
razor
that
is
hired
beyond
the
River--with
the
king
of
Assyria--the
head
and
the
hair
of
the
feet,
and
it
will
sweep
away
the
beard
also.
7:21 In
that
day
a
man
will
keep
alive
a
young
cow
and
two
sheep,
7:22 and
because
of
the
abundance
of
milk
that
they
give,
he
will
eat
curds,
for
everyone
who
is
left
in
the
land
will
eat
curds
and
honey.
7:23 In
that
day
every
place
where
there
used
to
be
a
thousand
vines,
worth
a
thousand
shekels
of
silver,
will
become
briers
and
thorns.
7:24 With
bow
and
arrows
a
man
will
come
there,
for
all
the
land
will
be
briers
and
thorns.
7:25 And
as
for
all
the
hills
that
used
to
be
hoed
with
a
hoe,
you
will
not
come
there
for
fear
of
briers
and
thorns,
but
they
will
become
a
place
where
cattle
are
let
loose
and
where
sheep
tread.
