Yeshayahu 7

And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Yotham, the son of Uzziyahu, king of Yahudah, that Retziyn the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Ramalyahu, king of Yashar'el, went up toward Yarushalayim to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

And it was told the house of Dawid, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephrayim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

Then said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 unto Yeshayahu, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou, and Shear-Yashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

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 Retziyn with Syria, and of the son of Ramalyahu.

Because Syria, Ephrayim, and the son of Ramalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

Let us go up against Yahudah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabe'al:

Thus saith Adonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

For the head of Syria is Damaseq, and the head of Damaseq is Retziyn; and within threescore and five years shall Ephrayim be broken, that it be not a people.

And the head of Ephrayim is Shomron, and the head of Shomron is Ramalyahu's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

Moreover 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake again unto Achaz, saying,

Ask thee a sign of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 thy Elohim; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

But Achaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of Dawid; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my Elohim also?

Therefore Adonai himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin (Almah) shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanu'el.

Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephrayim departed from Yahudah; even the king of Ashshuwr.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Mitzrayim, and for the bee that is in the land of Ashshuwr.

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.

In the same day shall Adonai shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Ashshuwr, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

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.

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.

With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

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.
