Basic HTML Version
to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her
kings.
17
The L
ORD
shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy 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
the L
ORD
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 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 he shall eat butter: for
butter and honey shall every one eat that 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 thither; because all the land
shall become briers and thorns.
25
And
on
all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall
not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for
the treading of lesser cattle.
CHAPTER 8
Moreover the L
ORD
said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning
Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and
Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare
a son. Then said the L
ORD
to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4
For before the child shall
have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria
shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5
The L
ORD
spake also unto me again, saying,
6
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of
Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7
Now therefore, behold, the Lord
bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many,
even
the king of Assyria, and all
his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8
And he shall pass
through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach
even
to the neck; and the stretching
out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far
countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken
in pieces.
10
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not
stand: for God
is
with us.
