8 But the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; but yet within threescore and ﬁve years shall the kingdom of Ephraim fail from (being) a people.

9 And the head of Ephraim is. Samaria, and the head of Samaria is ’s son: and if ye trust not, neither shall ye understand.

10 And the Lord spake unto Ahaz, saying, rr Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God, (down) to the depth or (up) to the height.

[*](3. Α reads ‘brother.’ unsupported, for ‘son.’)[*](5. ‘concerning thee. ’: B omits. Some MSS. have ‘against against thee’: some insert ‘Ephraim and the son of Remaliah’ as subject to ‘have selled.’)[*](6. ‘judab.’ Α reads ‘Edom’ by clerical error, Ἰδουμ. for Ἰουδ(αιαν) cf. xliv. 26 B, the converse error in Am. i. 9, 11. Β has ‘we will ’ king of ’ ℵBQ. fin. The discrepancy with the Heb. was noticed in ancient times: Ο. L. ’ Tertullian and Cyprian have ‘neque intelligetis’; Jerome (Vulgate) ‘non Augustine remarks on the divergence.)

12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.

13 And he said, Hear ye now, house of David; is it a small thing for you to provoke men, and how are ye provoking the Lord?

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Immanuel.

15 Butter and honey shall he eat; before he learn to prefer evil, he shall choose out what is good:

16 For before the child learn good or bad, (he resisteth wickedness to choose out what is good,) the land which thou fearest shall be abandoned from before them.

17 But God shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy ’s house, days that have not yet come since the day when he tdok away Ephraim from Judah; the king of the Assyrians.

18 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall hiss to the ﬂies, that which ’ over a part of the river of Egypt, and to the bee which is in the land of the Assyrians.
