Isaiah 7:2-4
International Standard Version
2 When it was reported to the house of David, “Aram has joined forces with Ephraim!” the[a] heart of the people of Ahaz[b] trembled like forest[c] trees in a windstorm.
3 So the Lord told Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool that proceeds along the highway to Launderer’s Field. 4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, be calm, don’t be afraid, and don’t lose heart because of these two smoldering stumps of torches, that is, because of[d] the fierce anger of Rezin, from Aram, and Remaliah’s son.

2 When the house of David was told, (A)“Syria is in league with[a] (B)Ephraim,” the heart of Ahaz[b] and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.
3 And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and (C)Shear-jashub[c] your son, at the end of (D)the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. 4 And say to him, (E)‘Be careful, (F)be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two (G)smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and (H)the son of Remaliah.

King James Version
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
