Isaiah 7:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And in that day shall the Lord hiss for the [a]fly that is at the uttermost parts of the floods of Egypt, and for the Bee which is in the land of Assyria,
19 And they shall come and shall light all in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorny places, and upon all bushy [b]places.
20 In that day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, even by them beyond the River, by the King of Assyria, the head and the hair of the [c]feet, and it shall consume the beard.
