4and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
“and say to him, Take heed and be quiet and do not fear. Be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands for the fierce anger of Resen and Syria and the son of Ramaliah,”

17The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria."
