In the days of Ahaz, who was Uzziah's grandson, two kings got together to attach Judah, and the people shook like leaves in the wind. But God sent a message to them via Isaiah saying that "It will not stand" (I'm not sure what "it" is, is it Judah, or the attack? peeking back, it's the attack that doesn't stand. God's telling Ahaz not to worry).
Then God tells Ahaz to ask for a sign, and he refuses, so God gives him one to look for - that the virgin will be with child. The child is called Immanuel and eats curds and honey.
The land is desolate, God shaves it with a razor, and where productive fruit used to grow, thorns grow now. It's not fit for farming, just for cattle and sheep.
a verse:
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel".
