1 When Ahazson of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, King Rezinof Aramand Pekahson of Remaliahking of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem, but they could not overpower it.
2 Now the house of Davidwas told, "Aramhas allied itself with7:2 Or has set up camp inEphraim"; so the hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken, as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind.
3 Then the Lordsaid to Isaiah, "Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub,7:3 Shear-Jashub means a remnant will return.to meet Ahazat the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field. 4 Say to him, ‘Be careful, keep calm and don’t be afraid. Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood—because of the fierce anger of Rezinand Aramand of the son of Remaliah. 5 Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s son have plotted your ruin, saying, 6 "Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeelking over it." 7 Yet this is what the Sovereign Lordsays:
" ‘It will not take place,
it will not happen,
8 for the head of Aramis Damascus,
and the head of Damascusis only Rezin.
Within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samariais only Remaliah’s son.
If you do not stand firm in your faith,
you will not stand at all.’ "
10 Again the Lordspoke to Ahaz, 11 "Ask the Lordyour God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights."
12 But Ahazsaid, "I will not ask; I will not put the Lordto the test."
13 Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you7:14 The Hebrew is plural.a sign: The virgin7:14 Or young womanwill conceive and give birth to a son, and7:14 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls son, and he or son, and theywill call him Immanuel.7:14 Immanuel means God with us.15 He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, 16 for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. 17 The Lordwill bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria."
Assyria, the Lord’s Instrument
18 In that day the Lordwill whistle for flies from the Niledelta in Egyptand for bees from the land of Assyria. 19 They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices in the rocks, on all the thornbushes and at all the water holes. 20 In that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River—the king of Assyria—to shave your heads and private parts, and to cut off your beards also. 21 In that day, a person will keep alive a young cow and two goats. 22 And because of the abundance of the milk they give, there will be curds to eat. All who remain in the land will eat curds and honey. 23 In that day, in every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,7:23 That is, about 25 pounds or about 12 kilogramsthere will be only briers and thorns. 24 Hunters will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns. 25 As for all the hills once cultivated by the hoe, you will no longer go there for fear of the briers and thorns; they will become places where cattle are turned loose and where sheep run.
