New King James Version

Isaiah 7:10-18 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

11. “Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.”

12. But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!”

13. Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?

14. Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

15. Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know 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 that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

17. The Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father’s house—days that have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah.”

18. And it shall come to pass in that dayThat the Lord will whistle for the flyThat is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt,And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
