13 Isaiah said, “Listen, house of David! Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men? Will you also try the patience of my God?
14 Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel.
15 By the time he learns to reject what is bad and choose what is good, he will be eating butter and honey.
16 For before the boy knows to reject what is bad and choose what is good, the land of the two kings you dread will be abandoned.
17 The Lord will bring on you, your people, and the house of your father, such a time as has never been since Ephraim separated from Judah — the king of Assyria is coming.”
18 On that day the Lord will whistle to the flythat is at the farthest streams of the Nileand to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 All of them will come and settlein the steep ravines, in the clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes, and in all the water holes.
