15 Butter and honey shall he eat; before he learn to prefer evil, he shall choose out what is good:

16 For before the child learn good or bad, (he resisteth wickedness to choose out what is good,) the land which thou fearest shall be abandoned from before them.

17 But God shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy ’s house, days that have not yet come since the day when he tdok away Ephraim from Judah; the king of the Assyrians.

18 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall hiss to the flies, that which ’ over a part of the river of Egypt, and to the bee which is in the land of the Assyrians.

19 And they shall all come, and shall rest in the valleys of the land, and in the holes of the rocks, and into the caverns, and into every cleft, and upon every tree.

[*](13. ‘provoke’: Gr. phrase suggests ‘give’ trouble’ or ‘offer battle.’)[*](14. ‘the Lord shall give you youselves...’ A (altered?) ‘thou shalt (so ΑΒ, Aq. Theod. Symm.): ‘she (?) shall call’ ℵ: ‘ye shall call’ Q. cf. Matt. i. 23.)[*](15. The text of ver. 15, 16 is apparently confused. Text here AQ. 17 cursives sives and ℵca, cb; ℵ*B have ‘to choose out.’ On ‘to prefer,’ see Introd.)[*](16. ℵ* omits the parenthesis. For πονηρίᾳ two cursives (93, 305) read πονηρίαν. The O.L. has ‘non credit ’ with variants (see Hatch. Essay: in Bibl. δὲ, W. p. 198): Augustine has ‘contemnet malitiam.’ ἀπειθεῖ should be an infin.; Wolf suggested ἀπωθεῖν πονηρίαν. The verse would thin run, ‘For before the child learn good or bad, (so as) to reject evil, choose out what is good’ &c. ‘from before the two ’ all MSS.)[*](18. The rel. does not agree, in the principal 3158., with ‘flies’; but there are many variants.)[*](19. B omits ‘and shall rest’: also ‘and upon every tree.’)

20 In that day shall theLord shave with the razor that is great and drunken, which is beyond the river of the king of the Assyrians; the head, and the hair of the feet, and the beard shall he take away.

21 And it shall be in that day, a man shall nourish a heifer of kine, and two sheep:

22 And it shall be, from their giving very much milk, butter and honey shall everyone eat, that is left upon the land.

23 And it shall be, in that day, every place, wheresoever there be a thousand vines at a thousand Shekels, they shall be for barren land and thorn.

24 With arrow and bow shall they enter there; for barren and thorn shall all the land be;

25 And every mountain shall be deeply ploughed; and fear shall not come thither; for from the barren land and thorn it shall be for the feeding of a sheep, and the treading of an ox.

VIII. I And the Lord said unto me, Take thee a leaf of a new great sheet and write upon it with a ’s pen, (For) to make speedily a plundering of spoils; for it is at hand.

2 And make faithful men my witnesses, Uriah, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
