Isaiah 7:10-16
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Lexham English Bible
10 And Yahweh continued to speak to Ahaz, saying, 11 “Ask for a sign for yourself from Yahweh God; make it deep as Sheol or make it high as above.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put Yahweh to the test.”
13 Then he said, “Hear, house of David! Is it too little for you to make men weary, that you should also make my God weary? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[a] a sign. Look! the virgin[b] is with child and she is about to give birth to a son, and she shall call his name ‘God with us.’ 15 He shall eat curds and honey until he knows to reject the evil and to choose the good. 16 For before the boy knows to reject the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned.[c]
