Guerre contre Juda
7 A l’époque d'Achaz, fils de Jotham, lui-même fils d'Ozias qui était roi de Juda, Retsin, le roi de Syrie, monta avec Pékach, le fils de Remalia, le roi d'Israël, contre Jérusalem pour l'attaquer, mais sans parvenir à s’en emparer. 2 On annonça aux membres de la dynastie de David: «Les Syriens ont pris position sur le territoire d’Ephraïm.» Achaz et son peuple en furent tout secoués, comme les arbres de la forêt lorsqu’ils sont secoués par le vent.
3 Alors l'Eternel dit à Esaïe: «Sors donc à la rencontre d'Achaz avec ton fils Shear-Jashub, au bout de l'aqueduc du réservoir supérieur, sur la route du champ du teinturier. 4 Tu lui diras:
‘Sois tranquille, n’aie pas peur
et que ton cœur ne se trouble pas
devant ces deux bouts de bois fumants,
devant la colère de Retsin et de la Syrie ainsi que du fils de Remalia!
5 Ne sois pas troublé parce que la Syrie a décidé de te faire du mal,
parce qu'Ephraïm et le fils de Remalia disent:
6 Montons contre Juda, semons-y la panique,
frayons-nous un passage
et proclamons-y roi le fils de Tabeel.’
7 »Voici ce que dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel:
Cela ne se produira pas, cela n'aura pas lieu.
8 Certes, Damas est la capitale de la Syrie
et Retsin le souverain de Damas,
mais d’ici 65 ans
Ephraïm ne sera plus un peuple.
9 Samarie est la capitale d'Ephraïm
et le fils de Remalia le souverain de Samarie.
Si vous ne croyez pas, vous ne subsisterez pas.»
Annonce de la naissance d'Emmanuel
10 L'Eternel dit encore à Achaz: 11 «Demande pour toi un signe à l'Eternel, ton Dieu! Demande-le, que ce soit dans les plus extrêmes profondeurs ou les lieux les plus élevés.» 12 Achaz répondit: «Je ne demanderai rien, je ne provoquerai pas l'Eternel.»
13 Esaïe dit alors:
«Ecoutez donc, membres de la dynastie de David!
Est-ce trop peu pour vous de fatiguer les hommes,
pour que vous abusiez encore de la patience de mon Dieu?
14 Voilà pourquoi c’est le Seigneur lui-même qui vous donnera un signe:
*la vierge sera enceinte,
elle mettra au monde un fils
et l’appellera Emmanuel.[a]
15 Il se nourrira de lait caillé et de miel
jusqu'à ce qu'il sache rejeter le mal et choisir le bien.
16 Cependant, avant que l'enfant sache rejeter le mal et choisir le bien,
le territoire dont tu redoutes les deux rois sera abandonné.
Jugement d'Israël
17 »Par l’intermédiaire du roi d'Assyrie, l'Eternel fera venir sur toi,
sur ton peuple et sur ta famille
des jours tels qu'il n'y en a jamais eu de pareils
depuis le jour où Ephraïm s'est séparé de Juda.
18 Ce jour-là, l'Eternel sifflera les mouches
qui sont dans le delta du Nil en Egypte
et les abeilles qui se trouvent en Assyrie.
19 Elles viendront et se poseront toutes dans les pentes abruptes des torrents
et les fentes des rochers,
sur tous les buissons et les pâturages.
20 »Ce jour-là, à l’aide d’un rasoir loué
de l’autre côté de l’Euphrate, à l’aide du roi d'Assyrie,
le Seigneur rasera la tête et les poils des jambes;
il coupera même la barbe.
21 Il arrivera, ce jour-là, que
chacun élèvera une jeune vache et deux brebis.
22 Il y aura une telle abondance de lait
qu'on se nourrira de lait caillé.
Oui, c'est de lait caillé et de miel que se nourriront
toutes les personnes restées dans le pays.
23 »Ce jour-là,
tout endroit où il y aura 1000 ceps de vigne
d’une valeur de 1000 pièces d'argent
sera livré aux ronces et aux buissons épineux:
24 on y viendra muni de flèches et d’un arc,
car tout le pays ne sera que ronces et buissons épineux.
25 Aucune des montagnes que l'on cultivait avec la bêche
ne sera plus fréquentée, par crainte des ronces et des buissons épineux.
On y lâchera le bœuf et le petit bétail foulera son sol.»

The Sign of Immanuel
7 When Ahaz(A) son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, King Rezin(B) of Aram(C) and Pekah(D) son of Remaliah(E) king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem, but they could not overpower it.
2 Now the house of David(F) was told, “Aram has allied itself with[a] Ephraim(G)”; so the hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken,(H) as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind.
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub,[b](I) to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.(J) 4 Say to him, ‘Be careful, keep calm(K) and don’t be afraid.(L) Do not lose heart(M) because of these two smoldering stubs(N) of firewood—because of the fierce anger(O) of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.(P) 5 Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s(Q) son have plotted(R) your ruin, saying, 6 “Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.” 7 Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says:(S)
“‘It will not take place,
it will not happen,(T)
8 for the head of Aram is Damascus,(U)
and the head of Damascus is only Rezin.(V)
Within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be too shattered(W) to be a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,(X)
and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah’s son.
If you do not stand(Y) firm in your faith,(Z)
you will not stand at all.’”(AA)
10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11 “Ask the Lord your God for a sign,(AB) whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.(AC)”
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.(AD)”
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David!(AE) Is it not enough(AF) to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience(AG) of my God(AH) also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign:(AI) The virgin[d](AJ) will conceive and give birth to a son,(AK) and[e] will call him Immanuel.[f](AL) 15 He will be eating curds(AM) and honey(AN) when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, 16 for before the boy knows(AO) enough to reject the wrong and choose the right,(AP) the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.(AQ) 17 The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away(AR) from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.(AS)”
Assyria, the Lord’s Instrument
18 In that day(AT) the Lord will whistle(AU) for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria.(AV) 19 They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices(AW) in the rocks, on all the thornbushes(AX) and at all the water holes. 20 In that day(AY) the Lord will use(AZ) a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River(BA)—the king of Assyria(BB)—to shave your head and private parts, and to cut off your beard(BC) also.(BD) 21 In that day,(BE) a person will keep alive a young cow and two goats.(BF) 22 And because of the abundance of the milk they give, there will be curds to eat. All who remain in the land will eat curds(BG) and honey.(BH) 23 In that day,(BI) in every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,[g](BJ) there will be only briers and thorns.(BK) 24 Hunters will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers(BL) and thorns. 25 As for all the hills(BM) once cultivated by the hoe, you will no longer go there for fear of the briers and thorns;(BN) they will become places where cattle are turned loose and where sheep run.(BO)

King James Version
7 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
4 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 Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 Let us go up against Judah, 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 Tabeal:
7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 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.
17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss 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.
19 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.
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22 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.
23 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.
24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25 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.
