Isaiah 7:19-21
New English Translation

19 All of them will come and make their home[a] in the ravines between the cliffs and in the crevices of the cliffs, in all the thorn bushes, and in all the watering holes.[b] 20 At that time[c] the Lord will use a razor hired from the banks of the Euphrates River,[d] the king of Assyria, to shave the hair off the head and private parts;[e] it will also shave off the beard. 21 At that time[f] a man will keep alive a young cow from the herd and a couple of goats.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 7:19 tn Heb “and shall rest” (so KJV, ASV); NASB, NIV, NRSV “and settle.”
  2. Isaiah 7:19 tn The meaning of this word (נַהֲלֹל, nahalol) is uncertain; some understand this as referring to another type of thorn bush. For bibliography, see HALOT 676 s.v. I *נַהֲלֹל.
  3. Isaiah 7:20 tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB); KJV “In the same day.”
  4. Isaiah 7:20 tn Heb “the river” (so KJV); NASB “the Euphrates.” The name of the river has been supplied in the present translation for clarity.
  5. Isaiah 7:20 tn Heb “the hair of the feet.” The translation assumes that the word “feet” is used here as a euphemism for the genitals. See BDB 920 s.v. רֶגֶל.
  6. Isaiah 7:21 tn Heb “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
