Isaiah 7:10-25 - The Immanuel Prophecy
10 And LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 Ask thee a sign of LORD thy God, ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I challenge LORD.
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David. Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also? 14 Therefore LORD himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knows 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 whose two kings thou abhor shall be forsaken. 17 LORD will 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 LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the outermost 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 clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all pastures.
20 In that day LORD will shave with a razor what is hired in the parts beyond the River, [even] with 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 keep alive a young cow and two sheep. 22 And it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter. For everyone who is left in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver coins, shall be for briers and thorns. 24 [Men] shall come there with arrows and with bow, because all the land shall be briers and thorns. 25 And all the hills that were dug with the mattock, thou shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
