Isaiah 7:20

Verse 20 of 25. The 7th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

16For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.

17The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.

18It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle 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.

19They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.

20In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that 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.

21It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.

22It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.

23It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.

24People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
