37AND WHEN King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of the Lord.H4428H2396H8085H7167H899H3680H8242H935H1004H3068 2And he sent Eliakim, who was over the [royal] household, and Shebna the secretary, and the older priests, clothed with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.H7971H471H1004H7644H5608H2205H3548H3680H8242H3470H5030H1121H531 3And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble {and} distress and of rebuke and of disgrace; for children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth.H559H559H2396H3117H3117H6869H8433H5007H1121H935H4866H3581H3205 4It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to mock, reproach, insult, {and} defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant [of His people] that is left.H3068H430H8085H1697H7262H4428H804H113H7971H2778H2416H430H3198H1697H3068H430H8085H5375H8605H7611H4672 5So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.H5650H4428H2396H935H3470 6And Isaiah said to them, You shall say to your master, Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid because of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled {and} blasphemed Me.H3470H559H559H113H559H3068H3372H6440H1697H8085H5288H4428H804H1442 7Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.H5414H7307H8085H8052H7725H776H5307H2719H776 8So the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah [a fortified city of Judah]; for he had heard that the king had departed from Lachish.H7262H7725H4672H4428H804H3898H3841H8085H5265H3923 9And [Sennacherib king of Assyria] heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,H8085H559H8640H4428H3568H3318H3898H8085H7971H4397H2396H559 10Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah: Let not your God in Whom you trust deceive you by saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.H559H2396H4428H3063H559H430H982H5377H559H3389H5414H3027H4428H804 11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, destroying them utterly. And shall you be delivered?H8085H4428H804H6213H776H2763H5337 12Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my predecessors have destroyed, as Gozan, Haran [of Mesopotamia], Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?H430H1471H5337H1H7843H1470H2771H7530H1121H5729H8515 13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad [of northern Syria], and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?H4428H2574H4428H774H4428H5892H5617H2012H5755 14And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. And Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord.H2396H3947H5612H3027H4397H7121H2396H5927H1004H3068H6566H6440H3068 15And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord:H2396H6419H3068H559 16O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, Who [in symbol] are enthroned above the cherubim [of the ark in the temple], You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.H3068H6635H430H3478H3427H3742H430H4467H776H6213H8064H776 17Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib which he has sent to mock, reproach, insult, {and} defy the living God.H5186H241H3068H8085H6491H5869H3068H7200H8085H1697H5576H7971H2778H2416H430 18It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their landsH551H3068H4428H804H2717H776H776 19And have cast the gods of those peoples into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.H5414H430H784H430H4639H120H3027H6086H68H6 20Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know (understand and realize) that You are the Lord, even You only.H3068H430H3467H3027H4467H776H3045H3068 21Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,H3470H1121H531H7971H2396H559H559H3068H430H3478H6419H5576H4428H804 22This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him: The Virgin Daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the Daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you.H1697H3068H1696H1330H1323H6726H959H3932H1323H3389H5128H7218H310 23Whom have you mocked and reviled [insulted and blasphemed]? And against Whom have you raised your voice and haughtily lifted your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!H2778H1442H7311H6963H5375H5869H4791H6918H3478 24By your servants you have mocked, reproached, insulted, {and} defied the Lord, and you have said, With my many chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the inner recesses of Lebanon. I cut down its tallest cedars {and} its choicest cypress trees; I came to its remotest height, its most luxuriant {and} dense forest;H3027H5650H2778H136H559H7230H7393H5927H4791H2022H3411H3844H3772H6967H730H4005H1265H935H4791H7093H3293H3760 25I dug wells and drank foreign waters, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers [the Nile streams] of Egypt.H6979H8354H4325H3709H6471H2717H2975H4693 26[But, says the God of Israel] have you not heard that I purposed to do it long ago, that I planned it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that you [king of Assyria] should [be My instrument to] lay waste fortified cities, making them ruinous heaps.H8085H7350H6213H6924H3117H3335H935H7582H1219H5892H5327H1530 27Therefore their inhabitants had little power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were like the grass of the field and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops and like a field of grain blasted before it is grown {or} is in stalk.H3427H7116H3027H2865H954H6212H7704H3419H1877H2682H1406H7709H6440H7054 28But I [the Lord] know your sitting down and your going out and your coming in and your raging against Me.H3045H3427H3318H935H7264 29Because your raging against Me and your arrogance {and} careless ease have come to My ears, therefore will I put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way you came.H7264H7600H5927H241H7760H2397H639H4964H8193H7725H1870H935 30And [now, Hezekiah, says the Lord] this shall be the sign [of these things] to you: you shall eat this year what grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same. And in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.H226H398H8141H5599H8145H8141H7823H7992H8141H2232H7114H5193H3754H398H6529 31And the remnant that has survived of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward.H7604H6413H1004H3063H3254H8328H4295H6213H6529H4605 32For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and a band that survives out of Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.H3389H3318H7611H6413H2022H6726H7068H3068H6635H6213 33Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow here or come before it with shield or cast up a siege mound against it.H559H3068H4428H804H935H5892H3384H2671H6923H4043H8210H5550 34By the way that he came, by the same way he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says the Lord.H1870H935H7725H935H5892H5002H3068 35For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.H1598H5892H3467H5650H1732 36And the Angel of the Lord went forth, and slew 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when [the living] arose early in the morning, behold, all these were dead bodies.H4397H3068H3318H5221H4264H804H3967H8084H2568H505H7925H1242H4191H6297 37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned and dwelt at Nineveh.H5576H4428H804H5265H3212H7725H3427H5210 38And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Armenia {or} Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.H7812H1004H5268H430H152H8272H1121H5221H2719H4422H776H780H634H1121H4427
