Isaiah 7:3-9

Amplified Bible

³ Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz [king of Judah], you and your son ^[a]Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the highway to the ^[b]Fuller’s Field; ⁴ and say to him, ‘Take care and be calm, do not fear and be weak-hearted because of these two stumps of smoldering logs, on account of the fierce anger of [King] Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah (Pekah, usurper of the throne of Israel). ⁵ Because Aram, along with Ephraim (Israel) and the son of Remaliah, have planned evil against you (Judah), saying, ⁶ “Let us go up against Judah and terrorize it; and let us breach its wall and tear it apart [each of us taking a portion] and set up the son of Tabeel over it as its [puppet] king,” ⁷ for this is what the Lord God says, “It shall not stand nor shall it happen. ⁸ For the head (capital) of Aram is Damascus and the head of Damascus is [King] Rezin (now within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken to pieces and will no longer be a people). ⁹ And the head (capital) of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son [King Pekah]. If you will not ^[c]believe [and trust in God and His message], be assured that you will not be established.”’”
