19 Jehovah humbled Judah because of King Aʹhaz of Israel, for he had let Judah go unrestrained, resulting in great unfaithfulness toward Jehovah.

20 King Tilʹgath-pil·neʹser+ of As·syrʹi·a eventually came against him and caused him distress+ rather than strengthening him.

17 Jehovah will bring against you and against your people and against the house of your father a time such as has not come since the day Eʹphra·im broke away from Judah,+ for He will bring the king of As·syrʹi·a.+

20 “In that day by means of a hired razor from the region of the River,* by means of the king of As·syrʹi·a,+ Jehovah will shave the head and the hair of the legs, and it will sweep away the beard as well.

30 Cry out and scream, O daughter of Galʹlim!

Pay attention, O Laʹi·shah!

O poor Anʹa·thoth!+

31 Mad·meʹnah has run away.

The inhabitants of Geʹbim have sought shelter.

32 This very day he will halt in Nob.+
