5 They have made plans against you. They said,
6 “Let’s fight against Judah and tear it apart. We will divide Judah for ourselves. We will make the son of Tabeel the new king of Judah.”
7 But I, the Lord God, say,Their plan will not succeed.It will not happen.
8 That is because Aram is led by the city of Damascus.And Damascus is led by its weak king, Rezin.Within 65 years Israel will no longer be a nation.
9 Israel is led by the city of Samaria,and Samaria is led by its weak king, the son of Remaliah.If your faith is not strong,then you will not have strength to last.’”
10 Then the Lord spoke to Ahaz again.
11 The Lord said, “Ask for a sign to prove to yourself that these things are true. It may be a sign from as deep as the place where the dead are or as high as the heavens.”
