Isaiah 7:1-8
Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz
1In the days of aAhaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, bRezin the king of Syria and cPekah 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. 2When the house of David was told, d“Syria is in league with ▼▼Hebrew Syria has rested upon
fEphraim,” the heart of Ahaz ▼▼Hebrew his heart
and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind. 3And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and hShear-jashub ▼
▼ Shear-jashub means A remnant shall return
your son, at the end of jthe conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer’s Field. 4And say to him, k‘Be careful, lbe quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two msmoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and nthe son of Remaliah. 5Because Syria, with Ephraim and othe 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,” 7thus says the Lord God: q“‘It shall not stand,
and it shall not come to pass.
8For the head of Syria is rDamascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin.
And within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.
Isaiah 8:4
4 sfor before the boy knows how to cry ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the twealth of uDamascus and the spoil of vSamaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.”Isaiah 8:9
9 Be broken, ▼▼Or Be evil
you peoples, and xbe shattered; ▼▼Or dismayed
give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
strap on your armor and be shattered.
Isaiah 17:3
3The fortress will disappear from zEphraim,and the kingdom from aaDamascus;
and the remnant of Syria will be
like abthe glory of the children of Israel,
declares the Lord of hosts.
