And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
king
Hezekiah's
hearing, that
he
rendeth
his garments
, and
covereth
himself
with
sackcloth, and entereth
the house of Jehovah,
On
hearing this
report
, King
Hezekiah
tore
his clothes
, put
on
sackcloth, and entered
the house of the
LORD.
and sendeth
Eliakim ,
who
`is'
over
the house
, and
Shebna the scribe, and the elders
of
the
priests, covering
themselves
with
sackcloth, unto
Isaiah son of Amoz the
prophet,
And he
sent
Eliakim the palace
administrator
, Shebna the scribe, and the leading
priests, all
wearing
sackcloth, to
the
prophet
Isaiah son of Amoz
and
they
say
unto
him, `Thus
said
Hezekiah ,
A day of distress, and
rebuke, and despising,
`is'
this
day
; for come
have sons
unto
the birth, and
power
there is not
to bear
.
to
tell
him, “This
is
what
Hezekiah says:
Today
is
a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace
; for children
have come
to
the point
of
birth, but
there is no
strength
to deliver
them
.
`It
may
be
Jehovah
thy
God doth
hear the words of Rabshakeh with
which
the king of Asshur
his
lord
hath
sent him
to reproach
the living God, and hath
decided
concerning
the words that Jehovah
thy
God hath
heard ,
and
thou
hast
lifted
up prayer for the remnant that is
found
. '
Perhaps
the
LORD
your
God will
hear the words of the
Rabshakeh ,
whom
his
master
the king of Assyria
has
sent to defy
the living God, and He
will
rebuke
him
for
the words that the
LORD
your
God has
heard .
Therefore
lift
up a
prayer for the remnant that still
survives
. ”
And
the servants of king Hezekiah come
in
unto
Isaiah,
So
the servants of King Hezekiah went
to
Isaiah,
and
Isaiah
saith
unto
them
, `Thus
do
ye
say
unto
your lord ,
Thus
said
Jehovah,
Be
not afraid because
of the words that
thou
hast
heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur
have reviled
Me.
who
replied
, “Tell
your master
that
this
is
what
the
LORD says:
‘Do
not be
afraid of the words you
have
heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria
have blasphemed
Me.
Lo
, I am
giving
in
him
a spirit ,
and
he hath
heard
a report,
and hath
turned
back
unto
his land, and
I have
caused
him to fall by the sword in
his
land
. '
Behold
, I will
put
a spirit in
him
so
that
he will
hear
a rumor
and return
to
his own
land, where
I will
cause
him to fall by the sword. ’”
And
Rabshakeh turneth
back
and
findeth
the king of Asshur
fighting against Libnah ,
for
he
hath
heard
that
he
hath
journeyed
from
Lachish
.
When
the
Rabshakeh heard
that
the king of Assyria
had
left
Lachish,
he
withdrew
and
found
the
king
fighting against Libnah.
And
he
heareth
concerning
Tirhakah king of Cush ,
saying,
`
He hath
come
out to fight with
thee;'
and
he
heareth
, and
sendeth
messengers unto
Hezekiah, saying,
Now
Sennacherib
had
been
warned
about
Tirhakah king of Cush :
“
He has
set
out to fight against
you.”
On
hearing
this
, Sennacherib
sent
messengers to
Hezekiah, saying,
`Thus
do
ye
speak
unto
Hezekiah king of Judah ,
saying,
Let
not thy
God lift
thee
up
in whom thou
art
trusting
, saying ,
Jerusalem is
not given
into the hand of the king of Asshur
.
“Give
this
message
to
Hezekiah king of Judah :
‘Do
not let
your
God ,
in whom you
trust
, deceive
you
by
saying that
Jerusalem will
not be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Assyria
.
Lo,
thou
hast
heard that
which
the kings of Asshur
have done to all the lands
--
to
devote
them --
and
thou
art
delivered!
Surely
you
have
heard what
the kings of Assyria
have done to all the other
countries,
devoting
them to
destruction.
Will
you
then
be
spared?
Did the gods of the nations deliver
them
whom
my fathers destroyed
--
Gozan, and
Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons
of Eden ,
who
`are'
in Telassar?
Did the gods of the nations destroyed
by
my fathers rescue
those
nations—the
gods
of
Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of
the people
of Eden in Telassar?
Where `is'
the king
of Hamath, and
the
king
of
Arpad, and
the
king
of
the
city
of
Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? '
Where are
the kings
of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? ’”
And
Hezekiah taketh
the
letters
out
of
the hand
of
the messengers, and
readeth
them
, and Hezekiah
goeth
up to the house of Jehovah,
and Hezekiah
spreadeth
it before Jehovah
.
So
Hezekiah received
the letter
from
the messengers, read
it
, and went
up to the house of the
LORD
and spread
it out
before the
LORD
.
And Hezekiah prayeth
unto
Jehovah,
saying,
And Hezekiah prayed
to
the
LORD:
`Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting
the cherubs
, Thou
`art'
God
Himself
--
Thyself
alone --
to
all kingdoms of the earth ,
Thou
hast
made the heavens and the earth.
“O
LORD
of Hosts, God of Israel, enthroned
above
the cherubim
, You
alone are
God
over
all the
kingdoms of the earth .
You
made the heavens and the earth.
Incline, O Jehovah,
Thine
ear
, and hear; open, O Jehovah
, Thine
eyes
and see ;
and
hear
Thou
all the words of
Sennacherib
that he
hath
sent to reproach
the living God.
Incline Your
ear
, O LORD
, and hear; open Your
eyes
, O LORD
, and see .
Listen
to
all the words that Sennacherib
has
sent to defy
the living God.
`
Truly, O Jehovah
, kings of Asshur
have laid waste all the
lands
and their land,
Truly, O LORD
, the
kings of Assyria
have laid waste all these
countries
and their lands.
so
as
to
put
their gods into fire --
for they `are'
no
gods, but work
of
the
hands
of
man,
wood and stone --
and
they
destroy
them
.
They
have
cast
their gods into the
fire and
destroyed
them,
for they were
not
gods, but only
wood and stone —the
work
of
human
hands
.
And now, Jehovah
our God, save us from his hand, and
all kingdoms of the earth do
know that Thou
`art'
Jehovah,
Thyself
alone. '
And now, O
LORD
our God, save us from his hand, so
that
all the
kingdoms of the earth may
know that You
alone ,
O
LORD,
are
God
. ”
And
Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth
unto
Hezekiah ,
saying,
`Thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, That
which
thou
hast
prayed unto
me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur
--
Then
Isaiah son of Amoz sent
a
message
to
Hezekiah :
“This
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
Because
you
have
prayed to
Me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
this `
is '
the word that Jehovah
spake
concerning
him: Trampled
on
thee,
laughed
at
thee,
Hath
the virgin daughter of Zion ,
Behind
thee
shaken
the
head
hath
the daughter of Jerusalem.
this is the word that the
LORD
has
spoken
against
him: ‘
The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises
you
and
mocks
you;
the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes
her
head
behind
you
.
Whom hast
thou
reproached
and reviled
? And
against whom lifted
up
the
voice ?
Yea,
thou
dost
lift
up
on
high
thine
eyes Against the Holy One of Israel .
Whom have
you
taunted
and blasphemed
? Against whom have
you
raised
your
voice and
lifted
your
eyes in
pride?
Against the Holy One of Israel !
By
the
hand
of
thy
servants Thou
hast
reviled
the Lord, and sayest
: In
the
multitude
of
my chariots I have come
up
to a
high
place
of hills
, The sides
of Lebanon ,
And
I cut down the
height
of
its cedars, The choice
of its firs,
And
I enter
the
high
place
of
its extremity
, The forest
of its Carmel
.
Through
your
servants you
have
taunted
the Lord, and you
have
said
: “With
my many
chariots I have ascended
to the
heights
of the
mountains
, to
the remote
peaks
of Lebanon .
I have
cut down its tallest
cedars, the finest
of its cypresses.
I have
reached
its farthest
heights
, the densest
of its forests
.
I --
I
have dug and drunk waters ,
And
I
dry
up
with the sole
of my steps
All floods
of a
bulwark
.
I have dug wells
and drunk foreign
waters .
With the soles
of my feet
I
have
dried
up
all the
streams
of Egypt
. ”
Hast
thou
not heard from
afar
? --
it
I did,
From
days of old --
that
I formed
it. Now ,
I have brought it in,
And
it
is
to make
desolate
, Ruinous
heaps
--
fenced
cities ,
Have
you
not heard? Long
ago
I ordained
it;
in
days of old I planned
it. Now I have brought it to pass
, that
you
should
crush
fortified
cities into
piles
of
rubble.
And
their inhabitants are
feeble-handed
, They
were
broken
down
, and
are dried
up
. They have
been
the
herb
of
the field, And
the
greenness
of
the
tender grass
, Grass of
the roofs,
And
blasted
corn
, before it hath
risen
up
.
Therefore
their inhabitants, devoid
of
power
, are dismayed
and
ashamed
. They are
like
plants
in
the field, tender green
shoots
, grass on
the rooftops
, scorched
before it is
grown
.
And
thy
sitting down, and
thy
going out ,
And thy
coming in, I
have
known,
And thy
anger
towards
Me.
But
I
know
your
sitting down, your
going out and coming in, and your
raging
against
Me.
Because of
thy
anger
towards
Me,
And thy
noise
--
it
came
up
into
Mine
ears, I have
put My hook in thy
nose ,
And My bridle
in thy
lips,
And
I have
caused
thee
to
turn
back In
the way in
which
thou
camest
.
Because your
rage
and arrogance
against
Me
have
reached
My
ears, I will
put My hook in your
nose and My bit
in your
mouth;
I will
send
you
back the way you
came
. ’
--
And this to
thee
`is'
the
sign, Food
of
the
year `is'
self-sown
grain
, And in the second year the spontaneous
growth,
And
in the third year ,
sow ye
and reap ,
And
plant vineyards ,
and eat their fruit.
And this will
be
a
sign to
you
, O
Hezekiah:
This
year you
will
eat
what
grows
on
its
own
, and in the second year what
springs
from
the same.
But
in the third year you
will
sow and reap ;
you
will
plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
And it
hath
continued
--
the escaped
Of the house of Judah that
hath
been
left
--
To
take root beneath,
And it
hath
made
fruit upward
.
And the surviving
remnant
of the house of Judah will
again
take root below
and bear
fruit above
.
For from
Jerusalem
goeth
forth
a remnant, And an
escape
from mount Zion ,
The zeal of Jehovah
of Hosts doth
this.
For a remnant will
go
forth
from
Jerusalem
, and survivors
from Mount Zion .
The zeal of the
LORD
of Hosts will
accomplish
this.
Therefore,
thus
said
Jehovah,
Concerning
the king of Asshur
: He doth
not come
in
unto
this city ,
Nor
doth
he
shoot there
an arrow ,
Nor
doth
he come before it `
with '
shield ,
Nor
doth
he
pour
out
against it a
mount
.
So
this
is
what
the LORD
says
about
the
king of Assyria
: ‘
He will
not enter
this city or
shoot an arrow into
it.
He will
not
come before it with a
shield or
build
up
a
siege
ramp
against it.
In
the way that
he came, in
it
he
turneth
back,
And unto
this
city
he doth
not come
in,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
,
He
will
go
back
the way he came, and he will
not enter
this
city
, ’
declares
the
LORD.
And
I have
covered
over
this city ,
To
save it ,
for Mine
own sake ,
And for the sake of David
My servant. '
‘
I will
defend
this city and
save it for My
own sake and for the sake of My servant David
. ’”
And
a
messenger
of Jehovah
goeth
out ,
and smiteth
in the camp of Asshur
a
hundred
and
eighty
and
five
thousand;
and
`men'
rise
early
in
the morning, and
lo,
all of
them
`are'
dead corpses.
Then
the
angel
of the
LORD
went
out and struck
down
185,000
men
in the camp of the Assyrians.
When
the
people
got
up
the
next
morning, there
were
all the
dead bodies!
And
journey,
and
go,
and
turn
back
doth
Sennacherib king of Asshur,
and dwelleth
in
Nineveh.
So
Sennacherib king of Assyria
broke
camp
and withdrew.
He
returned
to
Nineveh and
stayed
there
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass
, he is
bowing
himself
in the house
of Nisroch
his god, and
Adrammelech and Sharezer his
sons
have
smitten
him with
the sword ,
and they
have
escaped to the land of Ararat ,
and Esar-Haddon his
son
reigneth
in his stead
.
One
day
, while
he was
worshiping
in the temple
of his god Nisroch
, his
sons
Adrammelech and Sharezer put
him to
the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat .
And his
son
Esar-haddon reigned
in his place
.
