7 But God, the Master, says, "It won't happen. Nothing will come of it

Isaiah 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.

Isaiah 7:7 In-Context

5 Aram, along with Ephraim's son of Remaliah, have plotted to do you harm. They've conspired against you, saying,

6 'Let's go to war against Judah, dismember it, take it for ourselves, and set the son of Tabeel up as a puppet king over it.'

7 But God, the Master, says, "It won't happen. Nothing will come of it

8 Because the capital of Aram is Damascus and the king of Damascus is a mere man, Rezin. As for Ephraim, in sixty-five years it will be rubble, nothing left of it.

9 The capital of Ephraim is Samaria, and the king of Samaria is the mere son of Remaliah. If you don't take your stand in faith, you won't have a leg to stand on."
