Isaiah 7:20-22
New English Translation
20 At that time[a] the Lord will use a razor hired from the banks of the Euphrates River,[b] the king of Assyria, to shave the hair off the head and private parts;[c] it will also shave off the beard. 21 At that time[d] a man will keep alive a young cow from the herd and a couple of goats. 22 From the abundance of milk they produce,[e] he will have sour milk for his meals. Indeed, everyone left in the heart of the land will eat sour milk and honey.
