18 And it shall be in that. day, that the LORD shall hiss to the ﬂy that is at the end of the rivers of Egypt, and to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the precipitous valleys, and in the crevices of the rocks, and upon all thorn bushes, and upon all pastures.

[*](14. ‘shall call.’ Heb. has here a form resembling pers.)[*](15. ‘as he learneth,’ or, ‘when he knoweth...’; less probably. may know...’)[*](16 Lit. ‘forsaken shall be the land, as to which thou fearest, before the face of her two kings ’ (Kay).)[*](18 ‘rivers’: perhaps ‘Nile-arms’ or ‘canals’: plur. of word used only of the Nile.)[*](19. ‘pastures.’ Some render, ‘bushes.’)

20 In that day shall the LORD shave with the razor that is hired, (which is) beyond the river, the king of Assyria; the head, and. the hair of the feet, and the beard also shall it sweep away.

21 And it shall be in that day, that a man shall nourish a heifer of kine, and two sheep;

22 And it sheu be, from the abundance of milk they give, he shall eat butter; for butter and honey shall everyone eat, that is ’ left in the land.

23 And it shall be, in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall be I for briers and thorns.

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

25 And all the hills thatwere hoed with the hoe, thou shalt not come hither for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

VIII. 1 And the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great ’ and write upon it with a ’s pen, For Maher-shalal- hash-baz.

2 And I will take unto me faithful witnesses to witness, 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 LORD unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

[*](22. ‘give,’ lit. ‘make.’)[*](25. ‘thou shalt...,’ or, ‘whither came not the fear of...; it shall be’ &c.)

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 And the LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

6 Forasmuch as this people hath rejected the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice with Rezin and ’s son:

7 Now therefore, behold, the LORD bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, 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 sweep on into Judah; he shall overflow and pass through; to the neck shall he reach, and the stretching out of his wings shall ﬁll the breadth of thy land, Immanuel.

9 Rage, ye peoples, and be broken; and give ear, all distant parts of the earth; gird yourselves, and be broken! gird yourselves, and be broken!

10 Take counsel, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.

11 For the LORD spake thus to me with strength. of hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

12 Say ye not, A conspiracy, of all whereof this people saith, A conspiracy 3 and fear not the fear of it, nor be afraid:
