Isaiah 7

Gen Z: Isaiah 7

1So like, back in the day of Ahaz, son of Jotham, king of Judah, Rezin from Syria and Pekah from Israel rolled up on Jerusalem for a fight, but they couldn't win, no cap.

2Word got to the house of David, saying, "Syria's teamed up with Ephraim," and it shook him and his crew, like leaves in the wind.

3Then the Lord told Isaiah, "Yo, go meet Ahaz with your son Shear-jashub by the upper pool on the road to the fuller’s field."

4And say to him, "Chill out, don’t stress; don’t be shook by those two smoking firebrands, Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah."

5'Cause Syria, Ephraim, and Remaliah's son are plotting against you, saying,

6"Let’s roll up on Judah, mess with it, and put a king in charge, like Tabeal’s son."

7But the Lord's like, "That ain't happening, fam."

8Syria's head is Damascus, and Rezin's the top dog there; in 65 years, Ephraim’s gonna be done for, no cap.

9And Ephraim's head is Samaria, with Remaliah’s son at the top. If you don’t believe, you won’t stand, fr.

10Then the Lord hit up Ahaz again, saying,

11"Ask for a sign from the Lord your God, whatever you want, deep or high."

12But Ahaz was like, "Nah, I won’t ask, I’m not trying to test the Lord."

13And he said, "Listen up, house of David; is it chill for you to tire out people, but you wanna tire out my God too?"

14So the Lord's gonna give you a sign; check it out, a virgin’s gonna have a kid and name him Immanuel.

15He'll munch on butter and honey, so he knows to ditch the bad and choose the good.

16Before this kid knows good from bad, the land you hate is gonna be left with no kings.

17The Lord's gonna bring days you’ve never seen on you, your people, and your fam, since Ephraim bounced from Judah; that’s when Assyria rolls in.

18And on that day, the Lord will call for the fly chilling by the rivers of Egypt and the bee in Assyria.

19They’ll come and rest in the empty valleys, in rock holes, and on all thorns and bushes.

20On that day, the Lord's gonna shave with a hired razor, like the Assyrian king, taking off the head and feet hair, even the beard, savage.

21And on that day, a dude will take care of a young cow and two sheep;

22And they’ll be so much milk that he’ll be eating butter; butter and honey will be the vibe for everyone left in the land.

23On that day, every spot where there used to be a thousand vines for a thousand bucks will just be thorns and briers.

24People will roll in with arrows and bows 'cause the whole land’s just gonna be thorns and briers.

25And on all the hills dug up with tools, there won’t be any fear of thorns, just space for oxen and less cattle to chill.

KJV: Isaiah 7

1And 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.

2And 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.

3Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear–jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;

4And 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.

5Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

6Let 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:

7Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

8For 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.

9And 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.

10Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

11Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

12But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.

13And 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?

14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

15Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

16For 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.

17The 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.

18And 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.

19And 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.

20In 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.

21And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

22And 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.

23And 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.

24With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

25And 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.
