Isaiah 7:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 But the Lord will still show you this sign:
The young woman is pregnant[a]
and will give birth to a son.
She will name him Immanuel.[b]
15 He will eat milk curds and honey[c]
as he learns to choose good and refuse evil.
16 But before he is old enough to make that choice,
the land of the two kings you fear will be empty.
Footnotes

- Isaiah 7:14 Immanuel This name means “God is with us.”
- Isaiah 7:15 milk curds and honey This refers to some of the first solid foods, something like yogurt, that were fed to a baby. This is also the food that even the poor can find to eat. Also in verse 22.
