Isaiah 7:7

WEB

This is what the Lord God says: "It shall not stand, neither shall it happen."

KJV

Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

Commentary

Thus saith the Lord GOD, it shall not stand,.... That is, the counsel they had taken against Judah to vex it, make a breach in it, and set a king of their own liking over it; so the Septuagint and Arabic versions render the words, "that counsel shall not stand"; the counsel of God shall stand, but not the counsel of men, when it is against him, Pro 19:21 , neither shall it come to pass; or "shall not be"; so far from standing, succeeding, and going forward, till it is brought to a final accomplishment, it should not take footing, or have a being.
