5 Because Aram has plotted evil against you with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
6 “Let us go up against Judah and let us tear her apart, and let us lay it open and so bring it unto ourselves, and let us install the son of Tabeel as king in her midst.”
7 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “It shall not stand, and it shall not come to pass.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin, and in sixty-five years from now Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not believe then you will not endure.” ’ ”
10 And Yahweh continued to speak to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Ask for a sign for yourself from Yahweh God; make it deep as Sheol or make it high as above.”
