Context of Isaiah 7:13

11“Ask for a sign from Adonai your God—from the depths of Sheol or the heights of Heaven.” 12But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask—I wouldn’t test Adonai!” Then he said, “Hear now, house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men? Will you also weary my God? 14Therefore Adonai Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive. When she is giving birth to a son, she will call his name Immanuel. 15He will be eating curds and honey by the time he knows to refuse evil and choose good.
