Isaiah 7:18
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
In context
16 For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
17 The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”
18 On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
20 On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates —the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.
