Isaiah 7:10-16

Modern English Version

The Sign of Immanuel

¹⁰ Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying: ¹¹ Ask for a sign from the Lord your God. Make it either as deep as Sheol or as high as heaven.

¹² But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt 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 shall give you a sign: The virgin^[a] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.^{[b] 15} Curds and honey he shall eat at the time that he knows enough to refuse the evil and choose the good. ¹⁶ For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread shall be forsaken of both her kings.
