Isaiah 7:14

¹² But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”

¹³ Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.

¹⁵ By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.

¹⁶ For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
