14 (A)Well then, the Lord himself will give you a sign: a young woman[a] who is pregnant will have a son and will name him ‘Immanuel.’[b] 15 By the time he is old enough to make his own decisions, people will be drinking milk and eating honey.[c] 16 Even before that time comes, the lands of those two kings who terrify you will be deserted.

- Isaiah 7:14 This name in Hebrew means “God is with us.”
- Isaiah 7:15 These foods were associated with the earlier days of Israel's history.
