3Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to IsaiahH3470, “GoH3318 out nowH4994 to meetH7122 AhazH271, you and your sonH1121 1Shear-jashubH7610, at the endH7097 of the 2conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, on the highwayH4546 to the 3fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704, 4and sayH559 to him, ‘TakeH8104 careH8104 and be 4calmH8252, haveH3372 noH408 5fearH3372 and 6do not be faintheartedH7401H3824 becauseH4480 of theseH428 twoH8147 stubsH2180 of smolderingH6226 7firebrandsH181, on account of the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 and AramH758 and the 8sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. 5BecauseH3282H3588 9AramH758, with EphraimH669 and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, has plannedH3289 evilH7463 againstH5921 you, sayingH559, 6“Let us goH5927 up against JudahH3063 and 10terrorizeH6973 it, and makeH1234 for ourselves a breachH1234 in 11its walls and setH4427 up the sonH1121 of TabeelH2870 as kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it,” 7thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 12GodH3068: “13It shall not standH6965 norH3808 shall it comeH1961 to passH1961. 8For the headH7218 of AramH758 is 14DamascusH1834 and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526 (now within anotherH5750 65H8346H2568 yearsH8141 EphraimH669 will be shatteredH2865, so that it is noH4480 longer a peopleH5971), 9and the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111 and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. 15IfH518 you will not believeH539, you surelyH3588 shall not 16lastH539.”’”
10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 againH3254 to AhazH271, sayingH559, 11“AskH7592 a 17signH226 for yourself from the LordH3068 your GodH430; 18makeH6009 it deepH6009 as SheolH7585 orH176 highH1361 as 19heavenH4605.” 12But AhazH271 saidH559, “I will not askH7592, norH3808 will I testH5254 the LordH3068!” 13Then he saidH559, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, O 20houseH1004 of DavidH1732! Is it tooH4480 slightH4592 a thingH4592 for you to tryH3811 the patienceH3811 of menH376, that you will 21tryH3811 the patienceH3811 of 22my GodH430 as wellH1571? 14ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 HimselfH1931 will giveH5414 you a signH226: BeholdH2009, 23a 24virginH5959 will be with childH2030 and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and she will callH7121 His nameH8034 2526ImmanuelH6005. 15He will eatH398 27curdsH2529 and honeyH1706 28at the time He knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896. 1629For beforeH2962 the boyH5288 will knowH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896, 30the landH127 whoseH834 twoH8147 kingsH4428 you dreadH6973 will be forsakenH5800.
