Isaiah 37:21-38

21Then 1IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 word to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘BecauseH834 you have prayedH6419 to Me aboutH413 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, 22thisH2088 is the wordH1697 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 againstH5921 him: “She has despisedH959 you and mockedH3932 you, The 2virginH1330 3daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; She has 4shakenH5128 her headH7218 behindH310 you, The daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389!23WhomH4310 have you 5reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? And againstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963 And 6haughtilyH4791 7liftedH5375 up your eyesH5869? AgainstH413 the 8HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478!24ThroughH3027 your servantsH5650 you have reproachedH2778 the LordH136, And you have saidH559, ‘With my manyH7230 chariotsH7393 I cameH5927 up to the heightsH4791 of the mountainsH2022, To the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of 9LebanonH3844; And I cutH3772 downH3772 its tallH6967 10cedarsH730 and its choiceH4004 cypressesH1265. And I will goH935 to its 11highestH7093 peakH7093, its thickestH3759 12forestH3293.25I dugH6979 wells and drankH8354 watersH4325, And 13with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 I driedH2717 up AllH3605 the riversH2975 of 14EgyptH4693.’2615Have you not heardH8085? LongH7350 agoH7350 I didH6213 it, From ancientH6924 timesH3117H6924 I 16plannedH3335 it. NowH6258 17I have broughtH935 it to passH935, That 18you should turnH7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into 19ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were shortH7116 of strengthH3027, They were dismayedH2865 and putH954 to shameH954; They were as the 20vegetationH6212 of the fieldH7704 and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, As 21grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406 22is scorchedH7711 beforeH6440 it is grownH7054 up.28But I 23knowH3045 your sittingH3427 downH3427 And your goingH3318 out and your comingH935 in And your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me.29BecauseH3282 of your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me And because your 2425arroganceH7600 has comeH5927 up to My earsH241, Therefore I will putH7760 My 26hookH2397 in your noseH639 And My 27bridleH4964 in your lipsH8193, And I will turnH7725 you backH7725 28by the wayH1870 whichH834 you cameH935.

30“Then thisH2088 shall be the signH226 for you: 29you will eatH398 this yearH8141 whatH5599 30growsH5599 of itself, in the secondH8145 yearH8141 whatH5501 springsH5501 from the same, and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232, reapH7114, plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 and eatH398 their fruitH6529. 31The 31survivingH7604 32remnantH7604 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will againH3254 33take rootH8328 downwardH4295 and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605. 32For out of JerusalemH3389 will goH3318 forthH3318 a 34remnantH7611 and out of MountH2022 ZionH6726 35survivorsH6413. The 36zealH7068 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 thisH2088.”’

33“ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 concerningH413 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, ‘He will not comeH935 to thisH2088 cityH5892 or shootH3384 an arrowH2671 thereH8033; and he will not comeH6923 beforeH6923 it with a shieldH4043, orH3808 throwH8210 up a 37siegeH5550 rampH5550 againstH5921 it. 3438By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same he will returnH7725, and he will not comeH935 to thisH2088 cityH5892,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 35‘For I will 39defendH1598 thisH2088 cityH5892 to saveH3467 it 40for My own sakeH4616 and for My servantH5650 David’sH1732 sakeH4616.’”

36Then the 41angelH4397 of the LordH3068 wentH3318 out and struckH5221 185,000H3967H8084H2568H505 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804; and when 42men aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, beholdH2009, allH3605 of these were 43deadH4191H6297. 37So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265 and 44returnedH7725 home and livedH3427 at 45NinevehH5210. 38It cameH1961 about as he was worshipingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 killedH5221 him with the swordH2719; and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of 46AraratH780. And 47EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.
