Isaiah 7:18-25 - Assyria, The Lord's Instrument
18
the Lord will whistle
that is at the farthest streams of the Nile
and to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
in the steep ravines, in the clefts of the rocks,
in all the thornbushes, and in all the water holes.
20 On that day the Lord will use a razor
21
a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
he will eat butter,
for every survivor in the land will eat butter and honey.
23
every place where there were 1,000 vines,
worth 1,000 pieces of silver,
will become thorns and briers.
because the whole land will be thorns and briers.
that were once tilled with a hoe,
for fear of the thorns and briers.
Those hills will be places for oxen to graze
and for sheep to trample.
