3 (A)Against him came up (B)Shalmaneser king of Assyria. And Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute. 4 But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison. 5 Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land and came to Samaria, and for three years he besieged it.

17 (A)The Lord will bring upon you and upon your people and upon your father's house such days as have not come since the day that (B)Ephraim departed from Judah—the king of Assyria!”
18 In that day the Lord will (C)whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines, and (D)in the clefts of the rocks, and on all the thornbushes, and on all the pastures.[a]
20 In that day (E)the Lord will (F)shave with a razor that is (G)hired beyond (H)the River[b]—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.
21 (I)In that day a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep, 22 and because of the abundance of milk that they give, he will eat curds, for everyone who is left in the land will eat (J)curds and honey.
23 In that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels[c] of silver, will become (K)briers and thorns. 24 (L)With bow and arrows a man will come there, for all the land will be briers and thorns. 25 (M)And as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear (N)of briers and thorns, but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.
