12. “No, Lord,” Ahaz answered. “I won't test you!”
13. Then I said:Listen, every one of you in the royal family of David. You have already tried my patience. Now you are trying God's patience by refusing to ask for proof.
14. But the Lord will still give you proof. A virgin is pregnant; she will have a son and will name him Immanuel.
15-16. Even before the boy is old enough to know how to choose between right and wrong, he will eat yoghurt and honey, and the countries of the two kings you fear will be destroyed.
17. But the Lord will make more trouble for your people and your kingdom than any of you have known since Israel broke away from Judah. He will even bring the king of Assyria to attack you.
18. When that time comes, the Lord will whistle, and armies will come from Egypt like flies and from Assyria like bees.
