Isaiah 7:7-16

7thus says the Lord 1God: “2It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass. 8For the head of Aram is 3Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin (now within another 65 years Ephraim will be shattered, so that it is no longer a people), 9and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. 4If you will not believe, you surely shall not 5last.”’”

10Then the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11“Ask a 6sign for yourself from the Lord your God; 7make it deep as Sheol or high as 8heaven.” 12But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!” 13Then he said, “Listen now, O 9house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will 10try the patience of 11my God as well? 14Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, 12a 13virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name 1415Immanuel. 15He will eat 16curds and honey 17at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. 1618For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, 19the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.
