1And it happened in the days of Achaz the son of Joathan, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, that Basin king of Syria, and Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem, to fight against it: but they could not prevail over it.

2And they told the house of David, saying: Syria has rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

3And the Lord said to Isaias: Go forth to meet Achaz, you and Jasub your son that is left, to the conduit of the upper pool, a in the way of the fuller's held.

4And you shall say to him: See you be quiet: fear not, and let not your heart be afraid of the two tails of these fire brands, smoking with the wrath of the fury of Rasin king of Syria, end of the son of Romelia.

5Because Syria has taken guidance against you, to the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, saying:

6Let us go up to Juda, and rouse it up, and draw it away to us, and make the son of Tabeel king in the midst thereof.

7Thus says the Lord God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be.

8But the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Basin: and within threescore and five years, Ephraim shall cease to be a people:

9And the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue.

5For look the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.

6So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:

7trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in work.

8With a vehement wind you shall break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.

20Then began he to upbraid the cities in which were done the most of his signs, for that they had not done penance.

21Sorrow to you, Corozain, sorrow to you, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the signs that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.

22But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.

23And you Capharnaum, shall you be exalted up to heaven? you shall go down even to hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the signs that have been wrought in you, perhaps it had remained to this day.

24But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
