Isaiah 7:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy Father’s house (the days that are not come from the day that [a]Ephraim departed from Judah) even the King of [b]Assyria.
18 And in that day shall the Lord hiss for the [c]fly that is at the uttermost parts of the floods of Egypt, and for the Bee which is in the land of Assyria,
19 And they shall come and shall light all in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorny places, and upon all bushy [d]places.
