Isaiah 7:1-12 And coming is it in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, up goes Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem to fight against it. Yet they cannot fight against it."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And coming is it in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, up goes Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem to fight against it. Yet they cannot fight against it." ² And it is being told the house of David, saying, "Guided is Syria over Ephraim.And swaying is his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wildwood sway from facing the wind." ³ And Yahweh is saying to Isaiah, "Fare forth, pray, to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub, your son, to the end of the trench of the uppermost reservoir, to the highway of the field of the launderer." ⁴ And say to him, `Beware! And be quiet! You must not fear, and your heart must not be tender, because of these two tails of the smoking wooden pokers, that are by the hot anger of Rezin and Syria, and Remaliah's son." ⁵ Forasmuch as Syria counsels evil against you, with Ephraim and Remaliah's son, saying, ⁶ We will go up into Judah and end it, and we will rend it to us, and we will cause a king to reign in its midst--the son of Tabeal;"'" ⁷ Thus says my Lord, Yahweh of hosts, "This counsel shall not be confirmed, and it shall not come to pass." ⁸ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin, and in sixty five years further Ephraim shall be cracked from being a people." ⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you are not believing, then you are not being faithful." ¹⁰ And Yahweh is proceeding to speak to Ahaz, saying:" ¹¹ Ask for yourself a sign from Yahweh, your Elohim; deepen the asking, or elevate it toward that above." ¹² And saying is Ahaz, "I will not ask, nor will I probe Yahweh."
