Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood&#8212;because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah. 5Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah&#8217;s son have plotted your ruin, saying, 6&#8220;Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.&#8221; 7Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says:</div><div class="q1">&#8220;&#8198;&#8216;It will not take place,</div><div class="q2">it will not happen,</div><div class="q1"> 8for the head of Aram is Damascus,</div><div class="q2">and the head of Damascus is only Rezin.</div><div class="q1">Within sixty-five years</div><div class="q2">Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people.</div><div class="q1"> 9The head of Ephraim is Samaria,</div><div class="q2">and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah&#8217;s son.</div><div class="q1">If you do not stand firm in your faith,</div><div class="q2">you will not stand at all.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 10Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11&#8220;Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 12But Ahaz said, &#8220;I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 13Then Isaiah said, &#8220;Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14Therefore the Lord himself will give you#7:14 The Hebrew is plural. a sign: The virgin#7:14 Or young woman will conceive and give birth to a son, and#7:14 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls son, and he or son, and they will call him Immanuel.#7:14 Immanuel means God with us. 15He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, 16for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. 17The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah&#8212;he will bring the king of Assyria.&#8221;</div><div class="s1">Assyria, the Lord&#8217;s Instrument</div><div class="p"> 18In that day the Lord will whistle for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria. 19They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices in the rocks, on all the thornbushes and at all the water holes. 20In that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River&#8212;the king of Assyria&#8212;to shave your heads and private parts, and to cut off your beards also. 21In that day, a person will keep alive a young cow and two goats. 22And because of the abundance of the milk they give, there will be curds to eat. All who remain in the land will eat curds and honey. 23In that day, in every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,#7:23 That is, about 25 pounds or about 12 kilograms there will be only briers and thorns. 24Hunters will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns. 25As for all the hills once cultivated by the hoe, you will no longer go there for fear of the briers and thorns; they will become places where cattle are turned loose and where sheep run.</div>
