23:007:007 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
23:007:008 For 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.
23:007:009 And 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.
23:007:010 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
23:007:011 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
23:007:012 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
23:007:013 And 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?
23:007:014 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
23:007:015 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
23:007:016 For 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.
