8 aFor the head of Syria is Damascus,
And the head of Damascus is Rezin.
Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken,
So that it will not be a people.

Surely you shall not be established.” ’ ”

The Immanuel Prophecy
10 Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 a“Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God;1 ask it either in the depth or in the height above.”
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!”
13 Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?
14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: aBehold, the virgin shall conceive and bear ba Son, and shall call His name cImmanuel.
15 Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 aFor before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by bboth her kings.
17 aThe Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father’s house—days that have not come since the day that bEphraim departed from Judah.”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord awill whistle for the fly
That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt,
And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
That the Lord awill whistle for the fly
That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt,
And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
