Isaiah 7:4-14

4and say to him, ‘Keep calm and be quiet. Do not fear nor be faint-hearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, nor of the son of Remaliah,

5because Aram has plotted harm against you, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah saying,

6“Let us go up against Judah, terrorize it, divide it for ourselves, and appoint Tabeel’s son as king in the midst of it.”

7Thus says Adonai Elohim: “It will not stand, nor will it occur.

8For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within 65 years Ephraim will be broken and not be a people.

9The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you do not trust, you will not stand.”

10Then Adonai spoke again to Ahaz saying,

11“Ask for a sign from Adonai your God—from the depths of Sheol or the heights of Heaven.”

12But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask—I wouldn’t test Adonai!”

13Then he said, “Hear now, house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men? Will you also weary my God?

14Therefore Adonai Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive. When she is giving birth to a son, she will call his name Immanuel.
