Moreouer the Lord spake againe vnto Ahaz, saying;

Aske thee a signe of the Lord thy God; aske it either in the depth, or in the height aboue.

But Ahaz sayd, I will not aske, neither will I tempt the Lord.

And he sayd; Heare yee now, O house of Dauid; Is it a small thing for you to wearie men, but will yee wearie my God also?

Therefore the Lord himselfe shal giue you a signe: Behold, a Uirgine shall conceiue and beare a Sonne, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Butter and hony shall he eat, that hee may know to refuse the euill, and choose the good.

For before the childe shall know to refuse the euill and choose the good; the land that thou abhorrest, shalbe forsaken of both her kings.
