Chapter 7 of Isaiah—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now it came about in the days of 1Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that 2Rezin the king of Aram and 3Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but 4could not [a]conquer it.
  2. When it was reported to the 5house of David, saying, “The Arameans [b]6have camped in 7Ephraim,” his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake [c]with the wind.
  3. ¶ Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son [d]Shear-jashub, at the end of the 8conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the [e]fuller’s field,
  4. and say to him, ‘Take care and be 9calm, have no 10fear and 11do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering 12firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the 13son of Remaliah.
  5. Because 14Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has planned evil against you, saying,
  6. “Let us go up against Judah and [f]terrorize it, and make for ourselves a breach in [g]its walls and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,”
  7. thus says the Lord [h]GOD: “15It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass.
  8. For the head of Aram is 16Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another 65 years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people),
  9. and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. 17If you will not believe, you surely shall not [i]last.”’”
  10. ¶ Then the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
  11. “Ask a 18sign for yourself from the LORD your God; [j]make it deep as Sheol or high as [k]heaven.”
  12. But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the LORD!”
  13. Then he said, “Listen now, O 19house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will 20try the patience of 21my God as well?
  14. Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, 22a [l]virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name [m]23Immanuel.
  15. He will eat 24curds and honey [n]at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.
  16. 25For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, 26the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.
  17. ¶ The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house such days as have never come since the day that 27Ephraim separated from Judah, the 28king of Assyria.”
  18. ¶ In that day the LORD will 29whistle for the fly that is in the [o]30remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
  19. They will all come and settle on the steep [p]ravines, on the 31ledges of the cliffs, 32on all the thorn bushes and on all the [q]watering places.
  20. ¶ In that day the Lord will 33shave with a 34razor, 35hired from regions beyond 36the [r]Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.
  21. ¶ Now in that day a man may keep alive a 37heifer and a pair of sheep;
  22. and because of the abundance of the milk produced he will eat curds, for everyone that is left within the land will eat 38curds and honey.
  23. ¶ And it will come about in that day, 39that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become 40briars and thorns.
  24. People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.
  25. As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for [s]41pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
