(A)Then Rezin king of Syria and (B)Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to wage war on Jerusalem, and they besieged Ahaz (C)but could not conquer him.

(F)So Ahaz sent messengers to (G)Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.”

    (B)but you did not say, “It is hopeless”;
you found new life for your strength,
    and so you were not faint.[a]

11 (C)Whom did you dread and fear,
    (D)so that you lied,
and did not remember me,
    did not lay it to heart?
(E)Have I not held my peace, even for a long time,

When the house of David was told, (A)“Syria is in league with[a] (B)Ephraim,” the heart of Ahaz[b] and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.

And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and (C)Shear-jashub[c] your son, at the end of (D)the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. And say to him, (E)‘Be careful, (F)be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two (G)smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and (H)the son of Remaliah.
