Isaiah 7:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ At that time the Lord will whistle for the army of Upper Egypt,^[a] and of Assyria too, to swarm down upon you like flies and destroy you, like bees to sting and to kill. ¹⁹ They will come in vast hordes, spreading across the whole land, even into the desolate valleys, caves, and thorny parts, as well as to all your fertile acres. ²⁰ In that day the Lord will take this “razor”—these Assyrians you have hired to save you^[b]—and use it on you to shave off everything you have: your land, your crops, your people.
