Isaiah 7

1 Ahaz, being troubled with fear of Rezin and Pekah, is comforted by Isaiah. 10 Ahaz, having liberty to choose a sign, and refusing it, hath for a sign, Christ promised. 17 His judgment is prophesied to come by Assyria.

 7:1 Now it came 1961 about in the days 3117 of Ahaz 271, the son 1121 of Jotham 3147, the son 1121 of Uzziah 5818, king 4428 of Judah 3063, that Rezin 7526 the king 4428 of Aram 758 and Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, king 4428 of Israel 3478, went 5927 up to Jerusalem 3389 to [wage] war 4421 against 5921 it, but could 3201 not conquer 3898a 5921 it.

 7:2 When it was reported 5046 to the house 1004 of David 1732, saying 559, “The Arameans 758 have camped 5117 in Ephraim 669,” his heart 3824 and the hearts 3824 of his people 5971a shook 5128 as the trees 6086 of the forest 3293a shake 5128 with the wind 7307.

 7:3 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Isaiah 3470b, “Go 3318 out now 4994 to meet 7122 Ahaz 271, you and your son 1121 Shear-jashub 7610, at the end 7097a of the conduit 8585a of the upper 5945a pool 1295, on the highway 4546 to the fuller’s 3526 field 7704,

 7:4 and say 559 to him, ‘Take 8104 care 8104 and be calm 8252, have 3372a no 408 fear 3372a and do not be fainthearted 7401 3824 because 4480 of these 428 two 8147 stubs 2180 of smoldering 6226 firebrands 181, on account of the fierce 2750 anger 639 of Rezin 7526 and Aram 758 and the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425.

 7:5 ‘Because 3282 3588 Aram 758, [with] Ephraim 669 and the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, has planned 3289 evil 7463a against 5921 you, saying 559,

 7:6 “Let us go 5927 up against Judah 3063 and terrorize 6973 it, and make 1234 for ourselves a breach 1234 in its walls and set 4427a up the son 1121 of Tabeel 2870a as king 4428 in the midst 8432 of it,”

 7:7 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068: “It shall not stand 6965 nor 3808 shall it come 1961 to pass 1961.

 7:8 “For the head 7218 of Aram 758 is Damascus 1834 and the head 7218 of Damascus 1834 is Rezin 7526 (now within another 5750 65 8346 2568 years 8141 Ephraim 669 will be shattered 2865, [so that it is] no 4480 longer a people 5971a),

 7:9 and the head 7218 of Ephraim 669 is Samaria 8111 and the head 7218 of Samaria 8111 is the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425. If 518 you will not believe 539, you surely 3588 shall not last 539.”’”

 7:10 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 again 3254 to Ahaz 271, saying 559,

 7:11 “Ask 7592 a sign 226 for yourself from the LORD 3068 your God 430; make 6009 [it] deep 6009 as Sheol 7585 or 176 high 1361b as heaven 4605.”

 7:12 But Ahaz 271 said 559, “I will not ask 7592, nor 3808 will I test 5254 the LORD 3068!”

 7:13 Then he said 559, “Listen 8085 now 4994, O house 1004 of David 1732! Is it too 4480 slight 4592 a thing 4592 for you to try 3811 the patience 3811 of men 376, that you will try 3811 the patience 3811 of my God 430 as well 1571?

 7:14 “Therefore 3651 the Lord 136 Himself 1931 will give 5414 you a sign 226: Behold 2009, a virgin 5959 will be with child 2030 and bear 3205 a son 1121, and she will call 7121 His name 8034 Immanuel 6005.

 7:15 “He will eat 398 curds 2529 and honey 1706 at the time He knows 3045 [enough] to refuse 3988a evil 7451b and choose 977 good 2896b.

 7:16 “For before 2962 the boy 5288 will know 3045 [enough] to refuse 3988a evil 7451b and choose 977 good 2896b, the land 127 whose 834 two 8147 kings 4428 you dread 6973 will be forsaken 5800a.

 7:17 “The LORD 3068 will bring 935 on you, on your people 5971a, and on your father’s 1 house 1004 such 834 days 3117 as have never 3808 come 935 since 4480 the day 3117 that Ephraim 669 separated 5493 from Judah 3063, the king 4428 of Assyria 804b.”

 7:18 ¶ In that day 3117 the LORD 3068 will whistle 8319 for the fly 2070 that is in the remotest 7097a part 7097a of the rivers 2975 of Egypt 4714 and for the bee 1682 that is in the land 776 of Assyria 804b.

 7:19 They will all 3605 come 935 and settle 5117 on the steep 1327 ravines 5158a, on the ledges 5357 of the cliffs 5553, on all 3605 the thorn 5285 bushes 5285 and on all 3605 the watering 5097 places 5097.

 7:20 ¶ In that day 3117 the Lord 136 will shave 1548 with a razor 8593, hired 7917a from regions 5676 beyond 5676 the Euphrates 5104 ([that is], with the king 4428 of Assyria 804b), the head 7218 and the hair 8181 of the legs 7272; and it will also 1571 remove 5595 the beard 2206.

 7:21 ¶ Now in that day 3117 a man 376 may keep 2421a alive 2421a a heifer 5697 and a pair 8147 of sheep 6629;

 7:22 and because 4480 of the abundance 7230 of the milk 2461 produced 6213a he will eat 398 curds 2529, for everyone 3605 that is left 3498 within 7130 the land 776 will eat 398 curds 2529 and honey 1706.

 7:23 ¶ And it will come 1961 about in that day 3117, that every 3605 place 4725 where 834 8033 there used to be a thousand 505 vines 1612, [valued] at a thousand 505 [shekels] of silver 3701, will become 1961 briars 8068 and thorns 7898.

 7:24 [People] will come 935 there 8033 with bows 7198 and arrows 2671 because 3588 all 3605 the land 776 will be briars 8068 and thorns 7898.

 7:25 As for all 3605 the hills 2022 which 834 used to be cultivated 5737b with the hoe 4576, you will not go 935 there 8033 for fear 3374 of briars 8068 and thorns 7898; but they will become 1961 a place 4916a for pasturing 4916a oxen 7794 and for sheep 7716 to trample 4823.
