Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz

1 In the days of ^hAhaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, ⁱRezin the king of Syria and ^jPekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. 2 When the house of David was told, ^k“Syria is in league with ^{▼▼Hebrew Syria has rested upon} ^mEphraim,” the heart of Ahaz ^{▼▼Hebrew his heart} and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.

3 And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and ^oShear-jashub ^{▼▼ Shear-jashub means A remnant shall return} your son, at the end of ^qthe conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer’s Field. 4 And say to him, ^r‘Be careful, ^sbe quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two ^tsmoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and ^uthe son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, with Ephraim and ^vthe son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you, saying, 6 “Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it ^{▼▼Hebrew let us split it open} for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,” 7 thus says the Lord God:

^x“‘It shall not stand,
and it shall not come to pass.
8 For the head of Syria is ^yDamascus,
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 ^zthe son of Remaliah.
^aaIf you ^{▼▼The Hebrew for you is plural in verses 9, 13, 14} are not firm in faith,
you will not be firm at all.’”

Isaiah 8:6

6 “Because this people has refused the waters of ^acShiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over ^adRezin and the son of Remaliah,
