6 Let us go up against Yehudah, and trouble it, and let us divide it for ourselves, and set a melech in the midst of it, even ben Tav'el;
7 Thus saith Adonoi Hashem, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 For the rosh of Aram (Syria) is Damascus, and the rosh of Damascus is Retzin; and within threescore and five shanah shall Ephrayim be broken, that it be not a people.
9 And the rosh of Ephrayim is Shomron, and the rosh of Shomron is ben Remalyahu. If ye will not stand in emunah, then you shall not stand at all.
10 Moreover, Hashem spoke again unto Achaz, saying,
11 Ask thee an ot (sign) of Hashem Eloheicha; ask it either in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.
12 But Achaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Hashem.
