+Isaiah is describing what life will be like for the Israelites when the Assyrians come.  They will be everywhere (v19), the natives will be removed -- foreigners are providing services (20).  They will live and and eat simply (21-22).  You've never seen anything like what is coming (17).
-. And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
