Isaiah 7:15-22

¹⁵He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. ¹⁶For before the boy knows enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned.

¹⁷The Lord will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house such days as have not come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah—the days of the king of Assyria.”

¹⁸On that day the Lord will whistle for the fly that is in the remotest part of the canals of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. ¹⁹They will all come and settle on the steep ravines, on the ledges of the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes, and on all the watering places.

²⁰On that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates River (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.

²¹Now on that day a person may keep alive only a heifer and a pair of sheep; ²²and because of the abundance of the milk produced he will eat curds, for everyone who is left within the land will eat curds and honey.
