Isa 7:8 — For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.

Phrase from KJV (Help)		Correlating Verses

For the head	"Dr. Jubb transposes the former part of Isa 7:9, and renders, ""Though the head of Syria be Damascus; and the head of Damascus Retzin; and the head of Ephraim be Samaria; and the head of Samaria Remaliah's son; yet within threescore and five years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people."" This renders the passage perfectly clear; and the prophecy received its full accomplishment when Esarhaddon carried away the remains of the ten tribes. 2Sa 8:6"
within	Isa 8:4; Isa 17:1-3; 2Ki 17:5-23; Ezr 4:2
that it be not a people	Heb. from a people. Hsa 1:6-10
