WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.420 Chapter 7, And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of 00:06.420 --> 00:11.300 Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezan, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of 00:11.300 --> 00:16.680 Ramaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not 00:16.680 --> 00:17.760 prevail against it. 00:18.360 --> 00:23.360 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. 00:23.920 --> 00:28.800 And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are 00:28.800 --> 00:29.720 moved with the wind. 00:30.340 --> 00:35.080 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, 00:35.400 --> 00:39.480 and Shear-Jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, 00:39.720 --> 00:41.660 in the highway of the fuller's field. 00:42.280 --> 00:49.380 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, neither be faint-hearted for the 00:49.380 --> 00:54.460 two tales of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezan with Syria, 00:55.060 --> 00:56.600 and of the son of Ramaliah. 00:56.600 --> 01:02.400 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Ramaliah have taken evil counsel against 01:02.400 --> 01:08.120 thee, saying, Let us go up against Judah and vex it, and let us make a breach 01:08.120 --> 01:09.080 therein for us. 01:09.600 --> 01:13.080 And set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeo. 01:13.080 --> 01:18.200 Thus saith the LORD God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 01:18.820 --> 01:22.840 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezan. 01:23.540 --> 01:27.820 And within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a 01:27.820 --> 01:28.120 people. 01:28.600 --> 01:33.660 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Ramaliah's son. 01:34.420 --> 01:38.140 If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. 01:38.140 --> 01:43.680 Moreover, the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy 01:43.680 --> 01:44.100 God. 01:44.680 --> 01:47.380 Ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. 01:47.900 --> 01:52.460 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. 01:53.060 --> 01:56.220 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David. 01:56.880 --> 01:58.920 Is it a small thing for you to weary men? 01:58.920 --> 02:01.660 But will ye weary my God also? 02:02.660 --> 02:04.900 Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign. 02:05.540 --> 02:10.980 Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel. 02:11.660 --> 02:15.340 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, 02:15.540 --> 02:16.540 and choose the good. 02:16.540 --> 02:21.040 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, 02:21.800 --> 02:25.480 the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. 02:26.020 --> 02:30.800 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's 02:30.800 --> 02:35.480 house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from 02:35.480 --> 02:37.660 Judah, even the king of Assyria. 02:38.340 --> 02:42.780 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that 02:42.780 --> 02:45.600 is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt. 02:45.600 --> 02:48.320 And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 02:48.860 --> 02:53.060 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the 02:53.060 --> 02:56.980 holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes. 02:57.640 --> 03:02.240 In the same day shall the LORD shave with a razor that is hired namely by them 03:02.240 --> 03:06.780 beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet. 03:06.780 --> 03:11.640 And it shall also consume the beard, and it shall come to pass in that day, 03:12.140 --> 03:15.260 that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep. 03:15.960 --> 03:19.700 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give, 03:20.000 --> 03:24.900 he shall eat butter, for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the 03:24.900 --> 03:25.240 land. 03:25.240 --> 03:30.700 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there 03:30.700 --> 03:35.300 were a thousand vines and a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briars 03:35.300 --> 03:35.940 and thorns. 03:36.540 --> 03:41.700 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither, because all the land shall become 03:41.700 --> 03:42.700 briars and thorns. 03:43.280 --> 03:47.880 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither 03:47.880 --> 03:49.460 the fear of briars and thorns. 03:50.260 --> 03:54.860 But it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
