Isaiah 7:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² People gave this news to Judah's royal family. They said, ‘The armies of Syria and Ephraim have joined together to attack you.’^[a] When they heard this, Ahaz and his people were very afraid. They shook with fear, like trees in the forest shake in the wind.

³ Then the Lord said to Isaiah, ‘Go out and meet Ahaz. Take your son, Shear-Jashub, with you.^[b] Go to meet Ahaz at the end of the water stream that comes from the higher pool. That is at the field where people wash clothes.

⁴ Say to Ahaz, “Be careful. Do not be upset or afraid. Do not let King Rezin, his people from Syria and Remaliah's son, King Pekah, make you afraid. They are very angry, but their power will soon be useless, like two bits of wood that remain after a fire.
