Isaiah 7:13-15
Good News Translation
13 To that Isaiah replied, “Listen, now, descendants of King David. It's bad enough for you to wear out the patience of people—do you have to wear out God's patience too? 14 (A)Well then, the Lord himself will give you a sign: a young woman[a] who is pregnant will have a son and will name him ‘Immanuel.’[b] 15 By the time he is old enough to make his own decisions, people will be drinking milk and eating honey.[c]
