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.
In the desolate valleys and in athe clefts of the rocks,
And on all thorns and in all pastures.
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.
That he will eat curds;
For curds and honey everyone will eat who is left in the land.
That wherever there could be a thousand vines
Worth a thousand shekels of silver,
aIt will be for briers and thorns.
You will not go there for fear of briers and thorns;
But it will become a range for oxen
And a place for sheep to roam.

Isaiah 7:20
Shave - Utterly spoil, as shaving takes away the hair. Hired - By Ahaz, who did hire them, II Kings 16:7-8. And so the prophet notes the just judgment of God, in scourging them with a rod of their own making. By - By the successive kings of the Assyrian empire, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, and especially by Nebuchadnezzar. The head - By these metaphorical expressions he signifies the total destruction of their state, from head to foot, from the highest to the lowest.
