ISV(i)
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, be calm, don’t be afraid, and don’t lose heart because of these two smoldering stumps of torches, that is, because of the fierce anger of Rezin, from Aram, and Remaliah’s son.
5 Aram, Ephraim, and Remaliah’s son have plotted this evil against you:
6 “Let’s go attack Judah, let’s terrorize it, and let’s conquer it for ourselves. Then we’ll install Tabeel’s son as king!”’
7 ‘But this is what the Lord GOD has to say: “‘It won’t take place. It won’t ever happen.
8 Because Aram’s head is Damascus, and Rezin is its king, within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
9 Furthermore, Ephraim’s head is Samaria, and Remaliah’s son is its king. If all of you don’t keep on believing,
you’ll never remain loyal.’”
7 ‘But this is what the Lord GOD has to say:
you’ll never remain loyal.’”
