9. Is.7:10
Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz: 11
“Ask a sign of
the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as
heaven.” 12
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put
the LORD to the test.” 13
And he said, “Hear then, O house of
David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that 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
He shall eat curds and honey
when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the
good.16
For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and
choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will
be deserted. 17
The LORD will bring upon you and upon your
people and upon your father's house such days as have not
come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah—the
king of Assyria!”
10. 5
The LORD spoke to me again: 6
“Because this people has refused
the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah, 7
therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing
up against them the waters of the River,[n]
mighty and many, the
king of Assyria and all his glory. And it will rise over all its
channels and go over all its banks, 8
and it will sweep on into
Judah, it will overflow and pass on, reaching even to the neck,
and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O
Immanuel.”
9
Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered;
give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
strap on your armor and be shattered.
10
Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
speak a word, but it will not stand,
for God is with us.
11. 9 But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time
he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but
in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond
the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
12. Is. 7:14 KJV
10
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the
depth, or in the height above.
12
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
13
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small
thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.

quenched.’ 49
For everyone will be salted with fire.

dwell in it will die in like manner; but my salvation will be forever, and my
righteousness will never be dismayed.
