6. “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
7. This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
8. For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;
9. and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
10. Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11. “Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”
12. But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh.”
13. He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
14. Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
