WAR AGAINST YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the days of Ach Az the son of Yah Tham, the son of Uzzi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, that Resin the sovereign of Aram, and Peqach the son of Remal Yah sovereign of Yisra El ascend to Yeru Shalem to war against it but cannot fight against it. 2 And they tell the house of David, saying, Aram rests with Ephrayim. And his heart shakes - and the heart of his people as the trees of the forest shake at the face of the wind. 3 Then Yah Veh says to Yesha Yah, Go, I beseech, to meet Ach Az - you and Shear Yashub your son, at the end of the channel of the most high pool in the highway of the field of the fuller; 4 and say to him, On guard! and, Rest! Neither awe nor tenderize your heart for the two tails of these smoking brands - for the fuming wrath of Resin and Aram and the son of Remal Yah: 5 because Aram, Ephrayim, and the son of Remal Yah counsel evil against you, saying, 6 We ascend against Yah Hudah and loathe it and split it for us, and reign a sovereign in their midst - the son of Tabe El. 7 Thus says Adonay Yah Veh, It neither rises, nor becomes: 8 for the head of Aram is Dammeseq and the head of Dammeseq is Resin: and within sixty-five years Ephrayim, as a people, breaks. 9 And the head of Ephrayim is Shomeron and the head of Shomeron is the son of Remal Yah: If you trust not, surely you are not trustworthy. 10
THE SIGN OF IMMANU EL And Yah Veh adds to word to Ach Az, saying, 11 You, ask a sign of Yah Veh your Elohim; ask, either deep, or high above. 12 And Ach Az says, I neither ask nor test Yah Veh. 13 And he says, Hear now, O house of David; Is it petty for you to weary men? And also weary my Elohim? 14 So Adonay himself gives you a sign: Behold, a virgin conceives and births a son and calls his name Immanu El: 15 he eats butter and honey to know to refuse the evil and choose the good: 16 for ere the lad knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the soil you abhor is forsaken at the face of both her sovereigns: 17 Yah Veh brings upon you and upon your people and upon the house of your father, days such as came not - even from the day Ephrayim turned aside from Yah Hudah by the sovereign of Ashshur. 18 And so be it, in that day, Yah Veh hisses for the fly in the end of the rivers of Misrayim and for the bee in the land of Ashshur: 19 and they all come and rest in the wadies of desolations and in the holes of the rocks and upon all thorns and upon all pastures. 20 In the same day, Adonay, by the sovereign of Ashshur, with a razor, shaves the hireling beyond the river - the head, and the hair of the feet: yes, also scrapes away the beard. 21 And so be it, in that day, that a man keeps alive a young heifer of the herd, and two flock; 22 and so be it, for the abundance of milk that they work he eats butter: for every one who remains in the land eats butter and honey. 23 And so be it, in that day, so be it, that every place where there are a thousand vines worth a thousand silverlings, it becomes for briers and thorns: 24 he comes there with arrows and with bows; because all the land becomes briers and thorns: 25 and on all hills hoed with the hoe, there comes not the fear of briers and thorns: but it becomes for the sending forth of oxen, and for the trampling of lambs.
