3Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to IsaiahH3470, “GoH3318 outH3318 nowH4994 to meetH7122 AhazH271, you and your sonH1121 1Shear-jashubH7610, at the endH7097 of the 2conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, on the roadH4546 to the 3fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704, 4and sayH559 to him, ‘TakeH8104 careH8104 and beH8252 4calmH8252, haveH3372 noH408 5fearH3372 and 6do not be faintheartedH7401H3824 becauseH4480 of theseH428 twoH8147 stumpsH2180 of smolderingH6226 7logsH181, 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’s goH5927 upH5927 against JudahH3063 and 10terrorizeH6973 it, and takeH1234 it for ourselves byH1234 assaultH1234 and setH4427 upH4427 the sonH1121 of TabeelH2870 as kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it,” 7thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 11GodH3068 saysH559: “12It shall not standH6965 norH3808 shall it comeH1961 toH1961 passH1961. 8For the headH7218 of AramH758 is 13DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526 (now within anotherH5750 sixty-fiveH8346H2568 yearsH8141 EphraimH669 will beH2865 brokenH2865 toH2865 piecesH2865, 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. 14IfH518 you will not believeH539, you certainlyH3588 shall not 15lastH539.”’”
10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 againH3254 to AhazH271, sayingH559, 11“AskH7592 for a 16signH226 for yourself from the LordH3068 your GodH430; 17makeH6009 it deepH6009 as SheolH7585 orH176 highH1361 as 18heavenH4605.” 12But AhazH271 saidH559, “I will not askH7592, norH3808 will I putH5254 the LordH3068 toH5254 theH5254 testH5254!” 13Then he saidH559, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, 19houseH1004 of DavidH1732! Is it tooH4480 trivialH4592 a thingH4592 for you to 20tryH3811 theH3811 patienceH3811 of menH376, that you will 2122tryH3811 theH3811 patienceH3811 of 23my GodH430 asH1571 wellH1571? 14ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 HimselfH1931 will giveH5414 you a signH226: BeholdH2009, 24the 25virginH5959 will conceiveH2030 and giveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and she will nameH7121H8034 Him 2627ImmanuelH6005. 15He will eatH398 2829curdsH2529 and honeyH1706 30at the time He knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896. 1631For beforeH2962 the boyH5288 knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896, 32the landH127 whoseH834 twoH8147 kingsH4428 you dreadH6973 will be abandonedH5800.
