Isaiah 37:22-38
22this is the wordH1697 which Jehovah hath spokenH1696 concerning him: The virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at thee. 23Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963 and liftedH5375 up thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 24By thy servantsH5650 hast thou defied the LordH136, and hast saidH559, With the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I comeH935 up to the heightH6967 of the mountainsH2022, to the innermostH3411 partsH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cutH3772 down the tall cedarsH730 thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into its farthest heightH6967, the forestH3293 of its fruitful field; 25I have digged and drunkH8354 waterH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feet will I dryH2717 up all the riversH2975 of EgyptH4693.
26Hast thou not heardH8085 how I have done it long ago, and formedH3335 it of ancient times? nowH6258 have I broughtH935 it to pass, that it should beH1961 thine to lay waste fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinous heapsH1530. 27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 wereH1961 of small power, they wereH1961 dismayedH2865 and confounded; they wereH1961 as the grassH2682 of the fieldH7704, and as the green herb, as the grassH2682 on the housetops, and as a fieldH7704 of grainH7054 before it is grown up. 28But I knowH3045 thy sittingH3427 downH3427, and thy goingH3318 out, and thy comingH935 in, and thy ragingH7264 against me. 29Because of thy ragingH7264 against me, and because thine arrogancy is comeH935 up into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turnH7725 thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camest.
30And this shall be the signH226 unto thee: ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 that which groweth of itself, and in the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springeth of the same; and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof. 31And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall again take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bear fruitH6529 upwardH4605. 32For out of JerusalemH3389 shall goH3318 forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and out of mount ZionH6726 they that shall escapeH6413. The zealH7068 of Jehovah of hostsH6635 will perform this.
33ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 unto this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, neither shall he comeH935 before it with shieldH4043, nor cast up a mound against it. 34By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and he shall not comeH935 unto this cityH5892, saith Jehovah. 35For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it, for mine own sakeH4616, and for my servantH5650 David’s sakeH4616.
36And the angelH4397 of Jehovah wentH3318 forthH3318, and smote in the campH4264 of the Assyrians a hundredH3967 and fourscore and fiveH2568 thousandH505; and when men arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, these were all deadH4191 bodies. 37So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH7725 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210. 38And it came to pass, as he wasH1961 worshipping in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smote him with the swordH2719; and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of AraratH780. And Esar-haddon his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
