007:005 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying, 007:006 "Let's go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let's divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel." 007:007 This is what the Lord Yahweh says: "It shall not stand, neither shall it happen." 007:008 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; 007:009 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.'" 007:010 Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 007:011 "Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above." 007:012 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh." 007:013 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? 007:014 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.
