Don’t be intimidated by these two stubs of smoking logs, or by the raging anger of Rezin, Syria, and the son of Remaliah. <span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Syria has plotted with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah to bring about your demise. <span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>They say, “Let’s attack Judah, terrorize it, and conquer it. Then we’ll set up the son of Tabeel as its king.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>For this reason the sovereign master, the <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span>, says:</p><p class="poetry2">“It will not take place;</p><p class="poetry2">it will not happen.</p> <p class="poetry1"><span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>For Syria’s leader is Damascus,</p><p class="poetry2">and the leader of Damascus is Rezin.</p><p class="poetry2">Within sixty-five years Ephraim will no longer exist as a nation.</p> <p class="poetry1"><span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Ephraim’s leader is Samaria,</p><p class="poetry2">and Samaria’s leader is the son of Remaliah.</p><p class="poetry2">If your faith does not remain firm,</p><p class="poetry2">then you will not remain secure.”</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>The <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span> again spoke to Ahaz: <span class="reftext"><a href="/isaiah/7-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>“Ask for a confirming sign from the <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span> your God.
