Isaiah 7:18

Compare all

16 ^aFor before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by ^bboth her kings.

17 ^aThe Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father’s house—days that have not come since the day that ^bEphraim departed from Judah.”

18 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord ^awill whistle for the fly
That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt,
And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

19 They will come, and all of them will rest
In the desolate valleys and in ^athe clefts of the rocks,
And on all thorns and in all pastures.

20 In the same day the Lord will shave with a ^ahired ^brazor,
With those from beyond¹ the River, with the king of Assyria,
The head and the hair of the legs,
And will also remove the beard.

21 It shall be in that day
That a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep;

22 So it shall be, from the abundance of milk they give,
That he will eat curds;
For curds and honey everyone will eat who is left in the land.
