War against Jerusalem | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not conquer it. | 1 And 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. | 1 When Ahaz, son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Aram's King Rezin and Israel's King Pekah, son of Remaliah, went to Jerusalem to attack it, but they couldn't defeat it. | 1 It happened 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 to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. | 1 And 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, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it. | 2 When it was reported to the house of David, saying, "The Arameans have camped in Ephraim," his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake with the wind. | 2 And 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. | 2 When word reached David's family that the Arameans had made an alliance with Ephraim, the hearts of the king and his people were shaken as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind. | 2 It was told the house of David, saying, "Syria is allied with Ephraim." His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind. | 2 And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind. | 3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field, | 3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field; | 3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out with your son Shear Jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the ditch of the Upper Pool on the road to the Laundryman's Field. | 3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field. | 3 And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field; | 4 and say to him, 'Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah. | 4 And 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. | 4 Say to him, 'Be careful, stay calm, and don't be afraid. Don't lose heart because of the fierce anger of Rezin from Aram and Remaliah's son. These two are smoldering logs.' | 4 Tell him, 'Be careful, and keep calm. Don't be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. | 4 and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. | 5 Because Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has planned evil against you, saying, | 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, | 5 Aram, Ephraim, and Remaliah's son have planned evil against you, saying, | 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying, | 5 Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim also and the son of Remaliah, saying, | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 "Let us go up against Judah and terrorize it, and make for ourselves a breach in its walls and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it," | 6 Let 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: | 6 'Let's march against Judah, tear it apart, divide it among ourselves, and set up Tabeel's son as its king.' | 6 "Let's go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let's divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel." | 6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein the son of Tabeal; | 7 thus says the Lord GOD: "It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass. | 7 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. | 7 This is what the Almighty LORD says: It won't take place; it won't happen. | 7 This is what the Lord Yahweh says: "It shall not stand, neither shall it happen." | 7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass; | 8 "For the head of Aram is Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another 65 years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people), | 8 For 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. | 8 The capital of Aram is Damascus, and the leader of Damascus is Rezin. Ephraim will be shattered within 65 years so that it will no longer be a nation. | 8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people; | 8 for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no more a people; | 9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last."'" | 9 And 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. | 9 The capital of Ephraim is Samaria, and the leader of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you don't remain faithful, you won't remain standing. | 9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.'" | 9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established. | The Child Immanuel |
| 10 Then the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying, | 10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, | 10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, | 10 Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying, | 10 And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying, | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 "Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven." | 11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. | 11 "Ask the LORD your God for a sign. It can be anything you want." | 11 "Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above." | 11 Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. | 12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the LORD!" | 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. | 12 But Ahaz answered, "I won't ask; I wouldn't think of testing the LORD." | 12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh." | 12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah. | 13 Then he said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well? | 13 And 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? | 13 "Listen now, descendants of David," Isaiah said. "Isn't it enough that you try the patience of mortals? Must you also try the patience of my God? | 13 He said, "Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also? | 13 And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God? | 14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. | 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. | 14 So the Lord himself will give you this sign: A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will name him Immanuel [God Is With Us]. | 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. | 14 Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel. | 15 "He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. | 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. | 15 He will eat cheese and honey until he knows how to reject evil and choose good. | 15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good. | 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 "For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken. | 16 For 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. | 16 Indeed, before the boy knows how to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings who terrify you will be deserted. | 16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken. | 16 For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken. | Trials to Come for Judah |
| 17 "The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria." | 17 The 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. | 17 "The LORD will bring on you, your people, and your ancestor's family a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah. [He will bring] the king of Assyria. | 17 Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria. | 17 Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah even the king of Assyria. | 18 In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. | 18 And 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. | 18 On that day the LORD will whistle for the flies that are at the distant branches of the Nile River in Egypt and for the bees that are in Assyria. | 18 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle 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. | 18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria; | 19 They 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. | 19 And 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. | 19 All of them will come and settle in the deep valleys, in the cracks in the cliffs, on all the thornbushes, and at all the water holes. | 19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures. | 19 and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures. | 20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard. | 20 In 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. | 20 "On that day the Lord will hire the king of Assyria from beyond the Euphrates River to be a razor to shave the hair on your head, the hair on your legs, and even your beard. | 20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard. | 20 In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 21 Now in that day a man may keep alive a heifer and a pair of sheep; | 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; | 21 On that day a person will keep alive a young cow and two sheep. | 21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep; | 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep, | 22 and because of the abundance of the milk produced he will eat curds, for everyone that is left within the land will eat curds and honey. | 22 And 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. | 22 That person will eat cheese, because they will produce so much milk. Everyone who is left in the land will eat cheese and honey. | 22 and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land. | 22 and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, that he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey. | 23 And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns. | 23 And 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. | 23 On that day, in every place where there were 1,000 vines (worth 1,000 pieces of silver), there will be briars and thorns. | 23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns. | 23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns: | 24 People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns. | 24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. | 24 People will come there with bows and arrows [to hunt] because the whole land will be filled with briars and thorns. | 24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns. | 24 with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns. | 25 As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample. | 25 And 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. | 25 And you will no longer be able to go to all the hills which used to be cultivated because they will be filled with briars and thorns. It will be a place for turning oxen loose and letting sheep run." | 25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep." | 25 And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle. |
