Isaiah 7:20

English Standard Version

20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired beyond the River[1]—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also. (2Ki 18:13; Isa 8:7; Isa 10:5; Isa 10:15; Isa 11:15; Isa 24:1; Eze 5:1) 

New International Version

20 In that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the River Euphrates – the king of Assyria – to shave your heads and private parts, and to cut off your beards also. 

New International Reader’s Version

20 At that time the Lord will use the Assyrians to punish you. Ahaz had hired them earlier from east of the River Euphrates. Now their king will be like a razor in the Lord’s hand. He will shave the hair from your head and private parts. He will also shave off your beards. 

King James Version

20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely , by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
