This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Ver. 15. Butter and honey shall he eat,] i.e., He shall be fed with children’s meat, after the manner of other infants; for, as he shall take upon him our nature, so shall he also partake with us in our natural infirmities, feeding, as other children there did, on "butter and honey," {a} not able to discern good from evil, through want of judgment, till he came to be of discretion, {Luk_2:52 Deu_1:39} that he might be in all things like unto us, and that we might once come "unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ"; {Eph_4:13} that we might become "strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might"; able to "do all things through Christ, that strengtheneth us" {Php_4:7} Stumble not at his weakness, but gather assurance of his love who so sweetly joined his majesty to our meanness - his might to our weakness, abasing himself to the shape and state of a feeble, weak, and helpless child.
