Isaiah 7:12

Verse 12 of 25. The 7th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.

9The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”

10The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

11“Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”

12But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt the LORD.”

13He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?

14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

15He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.

16For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
