Yeshayah 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 7:7

Thus saith the Lord GOD, it shall not stand
That is, the counsel they had taken against Judah to vex it, make a breach in it, and set a king of their own liking over it; so the Septuagint and Arabic versions render the words, "that counsel shall not stand"; the counsel of God shall stand, but not the counsel of men, when it is against him, ( Proverbs 19:21 ) ( Isaiah 46:10 ) : neither shall it come to pass;
or "shall not be"; so far from standing, succeeding, and going forward, till it is brought to a final accomplishment, it should not take footing, or have a being.

Yeshayah 7:7 In-Context

5 Or because Aram (Syria), Ephrayim, and ben Remalyahu, have plotted your ruin, saying,

6 Let us go up against Yehudah, and trouble it, and let us divide it for ourselves, and set a melech in the midst of it, even ben Tav’el;

7 Thus saith Adonoi Hashem, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

8 For the rosh of Aram (Syria) is Damascus, and the rosh of Damascus is Retzin; and within threescore and five shanah shall Ephrayim be broken, that it be not a people.

9 And the rosh of Ephrayim is Shomron, and the rosh of Shomron is ben Remalyahu. If ye will not stand in emunah, then you shall not stand at all.
