5. because Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have taken evil counsel against you, saying,
6. Let us go up against Judah, and trouble it, and let us make a breach there for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel.
7. Thus says the Lord God: It shall not stand,nor shall it come to pass.
8. For the head of Aram is Damascus,and the head of Damascus is Rezin.Now within sixty-five yearsEphraim shall be broken so that it is not a people.
9. The head of Ephraim is Samaria,and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.If you will not believe,surely you shall not be established.
