Isaiah 7:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ “But the Lord God says: This plan will not succeed, ⁸ for Damascus will remain the capital of Syria alone, and King Rezin’s kingdom will not increase its boundaries. And within sixty-five years Ephraim, too, will be crushed and broken.^{[a] 9} Samaria is the capital of Ephraim alone, and King Pekah’s power will not increase. You don’t believe me? If you want me to protect you, you must learn to believe what I say.”
