“And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?”
“And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also? ”
“He said, "Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?”
“So Isaiah replied,“Pay attention, family of David. Do you consider it too insignificant to try the patience of men? Is that why you are also trying the patience of my God?”
“And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also?”
“And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?”
“And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?”
And the Lord spoke further to Ahaz, saying:
Ask for a sign for yourself from the Lord your God, from the depths below, even to the heights above.
And Ahaz said, “I will not ask, for I will not tempt the Lord.”
And he said: “Then listen, O house of David. Is it such a small thing for you to trouble men, that you must also trouble my God?
For this reason, the Lord himself will grant to you a sign. Behold, a virgin will conceive, and she will give birth to a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.
He will eat butter and honey, so that he may know to reject evil and to choose good.
But even before the boy knows to refuse evil and to choose good, the land that you detest will be abandoned by the face of her two kings.
