Isaiah 7:10-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ The Lord spoke to Ahaz through Isaiah again. He said, ¹¹ “I am the Lord your God. Ask me to give you a sign. It can be anything in the deepest grave or in the highest heaven.”

¹² But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t test the Lord.”

¹³ Then Isaiah said, “Listen, you members of the royal family of David! Isn’t it enough for you to test the patience of human beings? Are you also going to test the patience of my God? ¹⁴ The Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel. ¹⁵ He will still be very young when he can decide between right and wrong. ¹⁶ Even before then, the lands of the two kings you fear will be ruined.
