Isaiah 7:10
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.’”
Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.”
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
