Isaiah / Question
Question source
Isaiah
The LORD tells Ahaz to ask for a sign “as deep as Sheol or as high as heaven” (Isaiah 7:11). Ahaz refuses, saying he will not ask or put the LORD to the test (Isaiah 7:12). Isaiah then says the Lord will give a sign anyway (Isaiah 7:13-14).
10Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11Ask you a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh.
13He said, "Listen now, house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that you will weary my God also?
14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
