Isaiah 7

During the reign of King Ahaz of Judah, YHWH sends Isaiah and Shear-jashub to reassure him that the alliance of Rezin of Aram (Syria) and Pekah son of Remaliah of Ephraim (Israel) against Jerusalem will not succeed, as their plot 'shall not stand nor shall it come to pass.' YHWH offers a sign: a virgin (almah) shall conceive and bear a son called Immanuel, and before the child knows good from evil, the lands of those two kings will be forsaken; yet Judah will face desolation from Assyria, reduced to curds, honey, briers, and thorns.[1][2][3]
