Isaiah 7:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷‘But this is what the Lord God has to say:

“‘It won’t take place.
    It won’t ever happen.
⁸Because Aram’s head is Damascus,
    and Rezin is its king,^[a]
within sixty-five years
    Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
⁹Furthermore, Ephraim’s head is Samaria,
    and Remaliah’s son is its king.^[b]
If all of you don’t keep on believing,
    you’ll never remain loyal.’”^[c]
