Isaiah 7:5 In-Context

3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out with your son Shear Jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the ditch of the Upper Pool on the road to the Laundryman's Field.

4 Say to him, 'Be careful, stay calm, and don't be afraid. Don't lose heart because of the fierce anger of Rezin from Aram and Remaliah's son. These two are smoldering logs.'

5 Aram, Ephraim, and Remaliah's son have planned evil against you, saying,

6 'Let's march against Judah, tear it apart, divide it among ourselves, and set up Tabeel's son as its king.'

7 This is what the Almighty LORD says: It won't take place; it won't happen.
