Isaiah 7:22

22 Will they produce in abundance? No, he will [have to] eat curdled milk. Indeed, everyone left in the land will eat curdled milk and [wild] honey.

Isaiah 7:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 7:22

And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk
[that] they shall give
The cow and the two sheep, having large pastures, and few cattle to feed upon them, those few would give such abundance of milk, that the owner of them would make butter of it, and live upon it, having no occasion to eat milk; and there being few or none to sell it to: he shall eat butter;
the milk producing a sufficient quantity of it for himself and his family: for butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left in the land:
signifying that though they would be few, they would enjoy a plenty of such sort of food as their small flocks and herds would furnish them with, and the bees produce. The Targum and Jarchi interpret this of the righteous that shall be left in the land; but it is rather to be extended unto all, righteous and unrighteous.

Isaiah 7:22 In-Context

20 When that day comes, Adonai will shave - with a razor hired beyond the [Euphrates] River, that is, with the king of Ashur - the head and the hair between the legs, and get rid of the beard as well.
21 When that day comes, a man will raise a young cow and two sheep.
22 Will they produce in abundance? No, he will [have to] eat curdled milk. Indeed, everyone left in the land will eat curdled milk and [wild] honey.
23 When that day comes, wherever there once were a thousand grapevines, worth a thousand pieces of silver, there will be only briars and thorns.
24 One will go there [to hunt] with bow and arrow, because all the land will be briars and thorns.
