Isaiah 7:10-16

The Sign of Immanuel
10 Then Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 “Ask a (A)sign for yourself from Yahweh your God; [a]make it deep as Sheol or high as [b]heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not test Yahweh!” 13 Then he said, “[c]Listen now, O (B)house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will (C)try the patience of (D)my God as well? 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, (E)the [d]virgin [e]will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name [f](F)Immanuel. 15 He will eat (G)curds and honey [g]in order that He will know to refuse evil and choose good. 16 (H)For before the boy will know to refuse evil and choose good, (I)the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.

Isaiah 7:10-16
American Standard Version
10 And Jehovah spake again unto Ahaz, saying, 11 Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah. 13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, [a]a [b]virgin [c]shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name [d]Immanuel. 15 [e]Butter and honey shall he eat, [f]when he knoweth 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 whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken.
