Isaiah 7:14

Verse 14 of 25. The 7th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

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.

17The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.

18It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
