6 "Let us go up against Judah and terrorize it, and make for ourselves a breach in its walls and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,"
7 thus says the Lord God: "It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another 65 years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people),
9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last."'"
10 Then the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 "Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven."
12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!"
