7thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 1GodH3068 saysH559: “2It shall not standH6965 norH3808 shall it comeH1961 toH1961 passH1961. 8For the headH7218 of AramH758 is 3DamascusH1834, 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. 4IfH518 you will not believeH539, you certainlyH3588 shall not 5lastH539.”’”

10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 againH3254 to AhazH271, sayingH559, 11“AskH7592 for a 6signH226 for yourself from the LordH3068 your GodH430; 7makeH6009 it deepH6009 as SheolH7585 orH176 highH1361 as 8heavenH4605.” 12But AhazH271 saidH559, “I will not askH7592, norH3808 will I putH5254 the LordH3068 toH5254 theH5254 testH5254!” 13Then he saidH559, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, 9houseH1004 of DavidH1732! Is it tooH4480 trivialH4592 a thingH4592 for you to 10tryH3811 theH3811 patienceH3811 of menH376, that you will 1112tryH3811 theH3811 patienceH3811 of 13my GodH430 asH1571 wellH1571? 14ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 HimselfH1931 will giveH5414 you a signH226: BeholdH2009, 14the 15virginH5959 will conceiveH2030 and giveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and she will nameH7121H8034 Him 1617ImmanuelH6005. 15He will eatH398 1819curdsH2529 and honeyH1706 20at the time He knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896. 1621For beforeH2962 the boyH5288 knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896, 22the landH127 whoseH834 twoH8147 kingsH4428 you dreadH6973 will be abandonedH5800.
