7:8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.

7:9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

7:10Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

7:11Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

7:12But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.

7:13And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

7:14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

7:15Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

7:16For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

8:4For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

8:5The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

8:6Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

8:7Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

17:1The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

17:2The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

17:3The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
