noyes@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say to him: Take heed, and be quiet! Fear not, neither let thy heart he faint On account of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, On account of the fierce wrath of Rezin with the Syrians, and of the son of Remaliah,
noyes@Isaiah:7:5 @ Because Syria deviseth evil against thee, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
noyes@Isaiah:7:6 @ "Let us go up against Judah, and besiege the city, And take it, And set a king in the midst of it, Even the son of Tabeal."

noyes@Isaiah:8:5 @ Moreover, Jehovah spake to me again, saying:
noyes@Isaiah:8:6 @ Because this people despiseth The softflowing waters of Siloah, And rejoiceth in Rezin, and the son of Remaliah,

noyes@Isaiah:8:10 @ Form your plan, and it shall come to naught; Give the command, and it shall not stand; For God is with us.
noyes@Isaiah:8:11 @ For thus spake Jehovah to me with a strong hand, Instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
noyes@Isaiah:8:12 @ Call not everything a confederacy which this people calleth a confederacy; Fear ye not what they fear, Neither be afraid!
noyes@Isaiah:8:13 @ Jehovah of hosts, sanctify ye him; Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread!
noyes@Isaiah:8:14 @ And he shall be to you a sanctuary; But a stone of stumbling, and a rock to strike against, To the two houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

noyes@Isaiah:8:22 @ And if they look to the earth, Behold distress and darkness, fearful darkness! And into darkness shall they be driven.
noyes@Isaiah:9:1 @ But the darkness shall not remain where now is distress; Of old he brought the land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali into contempt; In future times shall he bring the land of the sea beyond Jordan, the circle of the gentiles, into honor.
noyes@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people that walk in darkness behold a great light; They who dwell in the land of deathlike shade, Upon them a light shineth.
