Isaiah 7:10-17

The sign of Immanuel

10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz:
11 "Ask a sign from the LORD your God. Make it as deep as the grave or as high as heaven."
12 But Ahaz said, "I won't ask; I won't test the LORD."
13 Then Isaiah said, "Listen, house of David! Isn't it enough for you to be tiresome for people that you are also tiresome before my God?
14 Therefore, the Lord will give you a sign. The young woman is pregnant and is about to give birth to a son, and she will name him Immanuel.
15 He will eat butter and honey, and learn to reject evil and choose good.
16 Before the boy learns to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be abandoned.
17 The LORD will bring upon you, upon your people, and upon your families days unlike any that have come since the day Ephraim broke away from Judah—the king of Assyria."
