Isaiah 7:17-19

International Standard Version

Conquest by Assyria

¹⁷ “The Lord will bring to you, to your people, and to your ancestor’s house such a time^[a] as has never been since Ephraim broke away from Judah—the king of Assyria will come.^[b]

¹⁸ “At that time,^[c] the Lord will call^[d] for flies that will come from far away—from the headwaters of Egypt’s rivers—and for bees that are in the land of Assyria. ¹⁹ They will all come and settle in the steep ravines, in the rocky crevices, in all the thorn bushes, and in all the pastures.^[e]
