17. יְהוָ֥ה shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; the king of Assyria.

18. And it shall come to pass in that day, יְהוָ֥ה shall hiss for the fly that in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that in the land of Assyria.

19. And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

20. In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

21. And it shall come to pass in that day, a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

22. And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.

23. And it shall come to pass in that day, every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall be for briers and thorns.

24. With arrows and with bows shall come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

25. And all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
