And the stretching out of his wings
Will [c]fill the breadth of Your land, O (B)Immanuel.[d]

Isaiah 7:17-25
New King James Version
17 (A)The Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father’s house—days that have not come since the day that (B)Ephraim departed from Judah.”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord (C)will whistle for the fly
That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt,
And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 They will come, and all of them will rest
In the desolate valleys and in (D)the clefts of the rocks,
And on all thorns and in all pastures.
20 In the same day the Lord will shave with a (E)hired (F)razor,
With those from beyond [a]the River, with the king of Assyria,
The head and the hair of the legs,
And will also remove the beard.
21 It shall be in that day
That a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep;
22 So it shall be, from the abundance of milk they give,
That he will eat curds;
For curds and honey everyone will eat who is left in the land.
23 It shall happen in that day,
That wherever there could be a thousand vines
Worth a thousand shekels of silver,
(G)It will be for briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and bows men will come there,
Because all the land will become briers and thorns.
25 And to any hill which could be dug with the hoe,
You will not go there for fear of briers and thorns;
But it will become a range for oxen
And a place for sheep to roam.
