Isaiah 7:8

Verse 8 of 25. The 7th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

4Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

5Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,

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.”

7This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”

8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.

9The 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.’”

10The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

11“Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”

12But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt the LORD.”
