Isaiah 7:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ “The Lord is going to bring on you, on your people, and on the whole royal family, days of trouble worse than any that have come since the kingdom of Israel separated from Judah—he is going to bring the king of Assyria.

¹⁸ “When that time comes, the Lord will whistle as a signal for the Egyptians to come like flies from the farthest branches of the Nile, and for the Assyrians to come from their land like bees. ¹⁹ They will swarm in the rugged valleys and in the caves in the rocks, and they will cover every thorn bush and every pasture.
