Isaiah 37:1-7

1And 1when KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 heardH8085 it, he toreH7167 his clothesH899, coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242 and enteredH935 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 2Then he sentH7971 2EliakimH471 whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004 with 3ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5613 and the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548, coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, to 4IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531. 3They saidH559 to him, “ThusH3541 saysH559 HezekiahH2396, ‘ThisH2088 dayH3117 is a 5dayH3117 of distressH6869, rebukeH8433 and rejectionH5007; for 6childrenH1121 have comeH935 to birthH4866, and thereH369 is noH369 strengthH3581 to 7deliverH3205. 4PerhapsH194 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whomH834 his masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 has sentH7971 to 8reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430, and will rebukeH3198 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has heardH8085. Therefore, offerH5375 a prayerH8605 for 9the remnantH7611 that is leftH4672.’”

5So the servantsH5650 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 cameH935 to IsaiahH3470. 6IsaiahH3470 saidH559 to them, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to your masterH113, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “10Do not be afraidH3372 becauseH4480H6440 of the wordsH1697 that you have heardH8085, with whichH834 the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 have blasphemedH1442 Me. 7BeholdH2009, I will putH5414 a spiritH7307 in him so that he will 11hearH8085 a rumorH8052 and 12returnH7725 to his own landH776. And I will make him fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.”’”
