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 Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people,

3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your 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, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah,

6 even the son of Tabeal:

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.

10 Moreover the LORD spoke again unto Ahaz,

12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.

13 And he said, Hear me now,

17 from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

19 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 by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, 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 it shall even be for briers and thorns. that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings,

24 because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

2 And it was told the house of David, saying, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

4 fear not, and be quiet; neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands,

5 have taken evil counsel against you, 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,

7 This saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

9 If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.

10 saying,

11 Ask you a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

13 O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you 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 Imm-Anu-El.

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 he abhorred shall be forsaken of both her kings.

17 The LORD shall bring upon him, and upon his people, and upon their father's house, days that have not come,

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,

20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, the head, and the hair of the feet:

23 And it shall come to pass in that day,

24 With arrows and with bows shall men come here;

25 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come here the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
