23:007:006 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:
23:007:007 Thus saith the Lord god, It shall
not stand, neither shall it
come
to pass.
23:007:008 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.
23:007:009 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.
23:007:010 Moreover the lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
23:007:011 Ask thee a sign of the lord thy God;
ask it either in the
depth,
or in the height above.
23:007:012 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the lord.
23:007:013 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?
23:007:014 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you
a sign; Behold, a
virgin
shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his
name
Immanuel.
23:007:015 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he
may know to refuse the
evil,
and choose the good.
23:007:016 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.
23:007:017 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.
23:007:018 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.
23:007:019 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.
23:007:020 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.
23:007:021 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that a man shall
nourish
a young cow, and two sheep;
23:007:022 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.
23:007:023 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.
