Isaiah
Chapter
07
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
And it was told the house of David, saying,
"Syria
is confederate with Ephraim."
And
his heart/'right lobe' was moved,
and
the heart/'right lobe' of his people . . .
as
the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3
Then said Jehovah/God 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, and be quiet.
Fear
not, neither be fainthearted
for
the two tails of these smoking firebrands,
for
the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria,
and
of the son of Remaliah . . . 5
because
Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah,
have
taken evil counsel against you, saying, 6
'Let
us go up against Judah, and cause it to be grieved,
and
let us make a breach therein for us,
and
set a king in the middle of it,
even
the son of Tabeal."
7``
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay . . . God/Jehovah,
"It
shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 8
For
the head of Syria is Damascus,
and
the head of Damascus is Rezin.
And
within threescore and five years {65}
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.
If
you will not believe, surely you shall not be established."
10
Moreover Jehovah/God spoke again unto Ahaz, saying, 11
"Ask
a sign of Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead . . .
ask
it either in the depth {in the water},
or
in the height above {sky above}.
{Negative
to Doctrine}
12
But Ahaz said,
"I
will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah/God."
13
And he said,
"Hear
you now, O house of David.
It
is a small thing for you to weary men,
but
will you weary my 'Elohiym/Godhead also?
{Prophecy
of the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.}
14~~Therefore
the Lord/'Adonay {God the Father} Himself
shall
give you a miraculous sign . . .
BEHOLD
. . . THE virgin
{only one every will do this}
shall
become pregnant . . .
consequently
bearing a son . . .
therefore
you shall call His name Emmanuel
{name means 'God with us'}. 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 you abhor
shall
be forsaken of both her kings. 17
Jehovah/God
shall bring upon you,
and
upon your people,
and
upon your father's house,
days
that have not come,
from
the day that Ephraim departed from Judah . . .
even
the king of Assyria."
18
"And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
Jehovah/God 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,
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``
"In the same day
shall
the Lord/'Adonay
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."
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 you
shall
eat butter.
For
butter and honey
shall
every one eat
who
is left in the land."
23
"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. 24
With
arrows and with bows shall men come there . . .
because
all the land shall become briers and thorns. 25
And
on all hills that shall be dug with the mattock,
there
shall not come there
the
fear of briers and thorns . . .
but
it shall be for the sending forth of oxen,
and
for the treading of lesser cattle."
