Isaiah

Isaiah 7:14–16

14Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgine will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.f 15By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey. 16For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
