Isaiah 7:1-14
New King James Version (NKJV)

Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz
7 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of
Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went
up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but could not prevail against
it. 2 And it was told to the house of David, saying, “Syria’s forces are deployed in
Ephraim.” So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved
with the wind.

3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and
Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the
Fuller’s Field, 4 and say to him: ‘Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted
for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of
Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you,
saying, 6 “Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall
for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”— 7 thus says the Lord God:

“It shall not stand,
Nor shall it come to pass.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus,
And the head of Damascus is Rezin.
Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken,
So that it will not be a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.
If you will not believe,
Surely you shall not be established.”’”

The Immanuel Prophecy
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.
