6 “Let us go up against Judah and1 trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”—
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.” ’ ”
