20. At that time the Lord will use the Assyrians to punish you. Ahaz had hired them earlier from east of the Euphrates River. Now their king will be like a razor in the Lord's hand. He will shave the hair from your head and legs. He will also shave off your beards.
21. At that time a man will only be able to keep one young cow and two goats alive.
22. But they will give enough milk and butter to live on. Everyone who is left alive in the land will have nothing but butter and honey to eat.
23. The land used to have vineyards with 1,000 vines worth 25 pounds of silver. But soon the whole land will be covered with thorns and bushes.
24. Men will go there to hunt with bows and arrows. That's because it will be covered with bushes and thorns.
