Isaiah7:21

21 And it shall come pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep .

This and the following Verse contain either, 1. a Mitigation of the foregoing Calamity, or some Comfort for the Remainders of the People, after the publick Devastation; or rather, 2. a further Declaration of the threatned Desolation; which best agrees not onely with the foregoing, but also with the following Verses. So the sence of this Verse is this, They who formerly used to keep great Herds of Cattel, and many Flocks of Sheep, shall esteem it a great happiness if they can keep but one Cow and two Sheep, to keep themselves from extremity of Famine.
