| Isaiah 7:20
| In that day the Lord shall shave with a razor that is hired by them that are beyond the river, by the king of the Assyrians, the head and the hairs of the feet, and the whole beard.
| Razor. Or cut off with scissors all the hair, as was done with lepers, (Leviticus 14:9.) and Levites, Numbers 8:7. The country shall be pillaged, and all shall be in mourning. (Calmet) --- The men shall be despised as no better than women and cowards. (St. Jerome) (Theodoret) --- Hired. With large sums. (Calmet)
