Isaiah 7:3-9
1599 Geneva Bible
3 ¶ Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz (thou and [a]Shear-Jashub thy son) at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the path of the fuller’s field,
4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be still: fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking [b]firebrands, for the furious wrath of Rezin and of Aram, and of Remaliah’s son,
5 Because Aram hath taken wicked counsel against thee, and Ephraim and Remaliah’s son, saying,
6 Let us go up against Judah, and let us waken them up, and make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst thereof, even the son of [c]Tabel.
7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it be.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within five and [d]threescore years, Ephraim shall be destroyed from being a people.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
