Isaiah 8
We are taught to trust the Lord, not the arm of flesh. Ahaz is warned -
"Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us." (Isaiah 8:9–10)
Ahaz just couldn't do that.
