Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son [a]Shear-jashub, at the end of the (A)conduit of the upper pool, to the highway of the [b]fuller’s field, and say to him, ‘Take care and stay (B)quiet, have no (C)fear and (D)do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering (E)firebrands, on account of the burning anger of Rezin and Aram and the (F)son of Remaliah. Because (G)Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has counseled evil against you, saying, “Let us go up against Judah and [c]terrorize it, and make for ourselves a breach in [d]its walls and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,” thus says Lord Yahweh: “(H)It shall not stand, nor shall it happen. For the head of Aram is (I)Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people), and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. (J)If you do not [e]establish your faith in Yahweh, you surely shall not [f]be established.”’”

Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and [a]Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field, and say to him: [b]‘Take heed, and [c]be (A)quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah. Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying, “Let us go up against Judah and [d]trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”— thus says the Lord God:

(B)“It shall not stand,
Nor shall it come to pass.
(C)For the head of Syria is Damascus,
And the head of Damascus is Rezin.
Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be [e]broken,
So that it will not be a people.
The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.
(D)If you will not believe,
Surely you shall not be established.” ’ ”
