The Immanuel Prophecy

10 Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 (A)“Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; [a]ask it either in the depth or in the height above.”

12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!”

13 Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: (B)Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear (C)a Son, and shall call His name (D)Immanuel.[b] 15 Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 (E)For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by (F)both her kings.
