(B)If you[a] are not firm in faith,
    you will not be firm at all.’”

The Sign of Immanuel

10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz: 11 “Ask (C)a sign of the Lord your[b] God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.” 13 And he[c] said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you (D)weary my God also? 14 Therefore the (E)Lord himself will give you a sign. (F)Behold, the (G)virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name (H)Immanuel.[d]
