⁷ Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.”^(A)

²⁰ So King Tiglath-pileser^[a] of Assyria came against him and oppressed him instead of strengthening him.^(A)

⁷ On that day people will look to their Maker, with their eyes on the Holy One of Israel;^(A)

⁸ they will not have regard for the altars, the work of their hands, and they will not look to what their own fingers have made, either the sacred poles^[a] or the altars of incense.^(A)
