Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz

1 Now it came to pass in the days of aAhaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against bit, but could not prevail against it.  
2 And it was told to the house of David, saying, “Syria’s forces are1 deployed in Ephraim.” So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.  
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field,  
4 and say to him: ‘Take heed, and2 be aquiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.  
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying,
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”— 
7 thus says the Lord God:
a“It shall not stand,
Nor shall it come to pass. 
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. 
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.
aIf you will not believe,
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. 
19 They will come, and all of them will rest
In the desolate valleys and in athe clefts of the rocks,
And on all thorns and in all pastures.
