Isaiah 7:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Then Isaiah said, “·Ahaz, descendant of David, listen carefully [^LHear now, house of David]! Isn’t it bad enough that you ·wear out the patience of [^Lweary] people? Do you also have to ·wear out the patience of [^Lweary] my God? ¹⁴ The Lord himself will give you a sign: The ·virgin [or young woman] will ·be pregnant [conceive] and will have a son, and she will name him Immanuel [“God is with us”]. ¹⁵ He will be eating milk curds and honey [^Cprobably because the crops have been destroyed in the invasion] ·when he learns [by the time he learns; or so that he will learn] to reject what is evil and to choose what is good [^Cprobably ages twelve or thirteen, when he would be accountable to the law; the destruction of Israel would occur in twelve or thirteen years: 722 bc].
