Isaiah 7:1-17

1And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147, the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, went upH5927 toward JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 against it, but couldH3201 not prevailH3898 against it. 2And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the forestH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307.1 3Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 to IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318 now to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704;23 4And sayH559 to him, Take heedH8104, and be quietH8252; fearH3372 not, neither be faintheartedH7401H3824 for the twoH8147 tailsH2180 of these smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 with SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425.4 5Because SyriaH758, EphraimH669, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, have taken evilH7451 counselH3289 against thee, sayingH559, 6Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and troubleH6973 it, and let us conquerH1234 it for ourselves and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870:5 7ThusH3541 saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, It shall not standH6965, neither shall it come to pass. 8For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within sixtyH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865, that it be not a peopleH5971.6 9And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah’sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539, surely ye shall not be establishedH539.7

10Moreover the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 againH3254 to AhazH271, sayingH559,8 11AskH7592 thee a signH226 from the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; askH7592 it either in the depthH6009, or in the heightH1361 aboveH4605.9 12But AhazH271 saidH559, I will not askH7592, neither will I temptH5254H853 the LORDH3068. 13And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811 menH582, but will ye wearyH3811 my GodH430 also? 14Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, the virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH6005H410.10 15ButterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall he eatH398, that he may knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896. 16For before the childH5288 shall knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896, the landH127 that thou abhorrestH6973 shall beH6440 forsakenH5800 by bothH8147 her kingsH4428.

17The LORDH3068 shall bringH935 upon thee, and upon thy peopleH5971, and upon thy father’sH1 houseH1004, daysH3117 that have not comeH935, from the dayH3117 that EphraimH669 departedH5493 from JudahH3063; even the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
