Isaiah 7:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ The Lord himself will give you a sign: The ·virgin [or young woman] will ·be pregnant [conceive] and will have a son, and she will name him Immanuel [“God is with us”]. ¹⁵ He will be eating milk curds and honey [^Cprobably because the crops have been destroyed in the invasion] ·when he learns [by the time he learns; or so that he will learn] to reject what is evil and to choose what is good [^Cprobably ages twelve or thirteen, when he would be accountable to the law; the destruction of Israel would occur in twelve or thirteen years: 722 bc]. ¹⁶ ·But [or For] before the child ·learns [knows] to choose good and reject evil, the lands of the two kings you fear [^CIsrael and Aram/Syria] will be ·empty [desolate; laid waste].
