14. Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
15. He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right,
16. for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
17. The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.”
18. In that day the Lord will whistle for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria.
