Revised Literal Translation

Isaiah 7:7-13

7Thus saith the Lord Yhwh, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.1 9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.2

10Moreover Yhwh spake again unto Ahaz, saying,3 11Ask thee a sign of Yhwh thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.4 12But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yhwh. 13And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
