Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rasin the king of Aram came up, and Pekah the son of Romeli, the king of Israel, went up to fight against Jerusalem. him, and was not able to ruin him. And it was announced in the house of David, the verb: Aram conferred with Ephraim. and his soul was terrified, and the soul of his people: as a tree in an oak grove was shaken by the wind. And the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you, and your remaining son Jasuv, to the pool of the mountain path, the village of the whitewasher. And you said to him: Be careful to remain silent, and do not be afraid, lest your soul faint because of the two heads of these smoking trees: for whenever the wrath of My wrath comes, I will heal again. The son of Araml, and the son of Romeliev, as a council of evil counsel against you, saying: Let us go up to Judea, and let us turn away those who have spoken with them to us, and reign in it son of Taveilev. Now this saith the Lord of hosts, this counsel shall not endure; below shall come true: The head of Aram Damascus, Damascus Racine: but yet sixty and five years, the kingdom of Ephraim shall fail from people.
The head of Ephraim is Somoron, Somoron is the son of Romeliev: and if you do not believe, you will not understand. And the Lord put the word to Ahaz, O river: Ask for yourself a sign from the Lord your God in depth or in height. And Ahaz said: I must not ask the imam, lest I tempt the Lord. And do you hear [Isaiah’s] speech in the house of David, food is not enough for you to give labor as a man, and how do you give labor to the Lord? For this reason, the Lord Himself will give you a sign.
Reading the prophecy of Isaiah [7:1–14a]
It came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rasin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Romeli, king of Israel, went to war against Jerusalem, but they could not besiege it. And it was announced to the house of David that Aram had united with Ephraim, and his soul and the soul of his people were stirred, like a tree in an oak grove shaken by the wind. And the Lord said to Isaiah: “Go out, you and your remaining son Jasub, to meet Ahaz to the pond on the mountain road, to the cloth field. And tell him: “Keep calm and do not be afraid, and do not let your soul be sad because of these two burnt logs, for when the wrath of My breath comes, I will help again. And the son of Aram and the son of Romeli, although Ephraim and the son of Romeli have formed an evil plan against you, saying: ‘Let us enter Judah and destroy it, and having negotiated with them, Let us turn them to ourselves and make the son of Tabeel king in it, but this is what the Lord of hosts says: This plan will not stand and will not come true; but the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Racine, and in sixty-five years the kingdom of Ephraim will be deprived of people.
And the head of Ephraim is Somoron, and the head of Somoron is the son of Romeli. And if you do not believe, you will not understand." And the Lord continued to speak to Ahaz and said: “Ask for yourself a sign from the Lord your God in the depths or in the heights.” And Ahaz said: “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord.” And Isaiah said: “Listen, house of David: is it not enough for you to argue with people, and as you argue with the Lord? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign."
