Hebrew (Masoretic text): וְחִכִּיתִי לַיהוָה הַמַּסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִבֵּית יַעֲקֹב וְקִוֵּיתִי לוֹ הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי וְהַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לִי יְהוָה לְאֹתוֹת וּלְמוֹפְתִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעִם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת הַשֹּׁכֵן בְּהַר צִיּוֹן

Septuagint (Isaiah 8:17-18 in the Septuagint numbering): καὶ ἐρεῖ Μενῶ τὸν θεὸν τὸν ἀποστρέψαντα τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Ἰακώβ, καὶ πεποιθὼς ἔσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτῷ. ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καὶ τὸ, παιδία ἅ μοι ἔδωκεν ὃ θεός. καὶ ἔσται εἷς σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαώθ, ὃς κατοικεῖ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιών.

The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 6 consecutive words: “παιδία ἅ μοι ἔδωκεν ὁ θεός.”
