Isaiah 7:3-9
English Standard Version
3 And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and (A)Shear-jashub[a] your son, at the end of (B)the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. 4 And say to him, (C)‘Be careful, (D)be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two (E)smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and (F)the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, with Ephraim and (G)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[b] for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,” 7 thus says the Lord God:
(H)“‘It shall not stand,
and it shall not come to pass.
8 For the head of Syria is (I)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 (J)the son of Remaliah.
(K)If you[c] are not firm in faith,
you will not be firm at all.’”

New International Version
Isaiah 7:3-9
New International Version
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub,[a](A) to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.(B) 4 Say to him, ‘Be careful, keep calm(C) and don’t be afraid.(D) Do not lose heart(E) because of these two smoldering stubs(F) of firewood—because of the fierce anger(G) of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.(H) 5 Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s(I) son have plotted(J) your ruin, saying, 6 “Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.” 7 Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says:(K)
“‘It will not take place,
it will not happen,(L)
8 for the head of Aram is Damascus,(M)
and the head of Damascus is only Rezin.(N)
Within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be too shattered(O) to be a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,(P)
and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah’s son.
If you do not stand(Q) firm in your faith,(R)
you will not stand at all.’”(S)
