Leeser(i)
17 The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah,—the king of Assyria.
18 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all bushes.
20 On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.
21 And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish but one young cow, and two sheep;
22 And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.
23 And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are now a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be,—yea, this shall be given up to briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become covered with briers and thorns.
25 And all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
