Isaiah 7:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 7.
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
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.’”
10 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.”
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?
