Isaiah 7:17-20

English Standard Version

^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.
