Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz

Isaiah 7

1 In the days of m Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, n Rezin the king of Syria and n Pekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. 2 When the house of David was told, o "Syria is in league with 1 p Ephraim," the heart of Ahaz 2 and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.

3 And the Lord said to Isaiah, "Go out to meet Ahaz, you and q Shear-jashub 3 your son, at the end of r the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. 4 And say to him, s 'Be careful, t be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two u smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and v the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, with Ephraim and v the son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you, saying, 6 "Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it 4 for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,"

7 thus says the Lord God:
w "'It shall not stand,
and it shall not come to pass.
 8 For the head of Syria is x Damascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin.
And within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.
 9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is y the son of Remaliah.
z If you 5 are not firm in faith,
you will not be firm at all.'"
