TSK · Isaiah 28:4

for before the child knows how to cry out,‘My father’ or‘My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”

Transitory Faithfulness and Imminent Judgment What am I going to do with you, O Ephraim? What am I going to do with you, O Judah? For your faithfulness is as fleeting as the morning mist; it disappears as quickly as dawn’s dew!

Ephraim will be struck down– their root will be dried up; they will not yield any fruit. Even if they do bear children, I will kill their precious offspring.

The Capital of the Northern Empire Will Be Destroyed Even though he flourishes like a reed plant, a scorching east wind will come, a wind from the LORD rising up from the desert. As a result, his spring will dry up; his well will become dry. That wind will spoil all his delightful foods in the containers in his storehouse.

The Assyrian Defenses Will Fail All your fortifications will be like fig trees with first-ripe fruit: If they are shaken, their figs will fall into the mouth of the eater!

and the stars in the sky fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when shaken by a fierce wind.
