Isaiah said: Hear this you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore Jehovah will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (God with us). He will eat butter and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right. read more.
But before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. Jehovah will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria upon you. In that day Jehovah will whistle for the flies that are at the distant branches of the Nile River in Egypt and for the bees that are in Assyria. All of them will come and settle in the deep valleys, in the cracks in the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes, and at all the water holes. In that day Jehovah will hire the king of Assyria from beyond the Euphrates River to be a razor to shave the hair on your head, the hair on your legs, and even your beard. On that day a person will keep alive a young cow and two sheep. They will give so much milk that he will have all he needs. Yes, the few survivors left in the land will have milk and honey to eat. When that time comes, the fine vineyards, each with a thousand vines and each worth a thousand pieces of silver, will be overgrown with thorn bushes and briers. People will go hunting there with bows and arrows. Yes, the whole country will be full of briers and thorn bushes. All the hills where crops were once planted will be so overgrown with thorns that no one will go there. It will be a place where cattle and sheep graze.

A report was made to the house of David saying: Aram has allied itself with Ephraim. The heart of Ahaz and the heart of his people shook (their courage failed) as the trees of the forest shake before the wind. Jehovah said to Isaiah: You and your son Shear-ja'shub should go out to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the (laundryman's field) Fuller's Field.

Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah's son have plotted your ruin. They say: Let us invade Judah. Let us tear it apart and divide it among us. Let us make the son of Tabeel king over Judah.

Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people. The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.' Again Jehovah spoke to Ahaz: Ask Jehovah your God for a sign. Ask it in the deepest depths or in the highest heights. But Ahaz said: I will not ask. I will not put Jehovah to the test. Isaiah said: Hear this you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also?

(Deuteronomy 8:3) Then the Devil took him into the holy city and had him stand on top of the Temple. If (since) you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. The Scriptures say: 'God will give orders to his angels about you and they will hold you with their hands, so that not even your feet will strike the ground.' Again it is written, Jesus replied, 'you must not put Jehovah your God to the test.' (Deuteronomy 6:16) This time the Devil took Jesus to an extremely high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world with all their greatness. I will give all this to you, the Devil told Jesus, if you kneel down and worship me. Go away, Satan! demanded Jesus.

Jesus answered: It is written, you shall worship Jehovah your God and him only shall you serve. (Deuteronomy 6:13-15; 10:12; 10:20) (Exodus 20:3-5) He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle (highest level) of the temple. Then he said to him: If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here. It is written, he shall give his angels charge concerning you to guard you. They will carry you with their hands so you do not dash your foot against a stone. Jesus replied: It is said you should not test Jehovah your God. (Deuteronomy 6:16) When the devil had completed every temptation he departed from him for a season.
