Isaiah 37:4-32

4PerhapsH194 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whomH834 his masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 has sentH7971 to 1reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430, and will rebukeH3198 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has heardH8085. Therefore, offerH5375 a prayerH8605 for 2the 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, “3Do 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 4hearH8085 a rumorH8052 and 5returnH7725 to his own landH776. And I will make him fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.”’”

8Then RabshakehH7262 returnedH7725 and foundH4672 the king of AssyriaH804 fightingH3898 againstH5921 6LibnahH3841, for he had heardH8085 that 7the king had leftH5265 8LachishH3923. 9When he 9heardH8085 them sayH559 concerningH5921 TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of 1011CushH3568, “He has comeH3318 out to fightH3898 againstH854 you,” and when he heardH8085 it he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, 10“ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of 12JudahH3063, ‘13Do not let your GodH430 in whomH834 you trustH982 deceiveH5378 you, sayingH559, “JerusalemH3389 will not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.” 1114BeholdH2009, you have heardH8085 whatH834 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have doneH6213 to allH3605 the landsH776, destroyingH2763 them completelyH2763. So will you be 15sparedH5337? 12Did the godsH430 of 16those nationsH1471 whichH834 my fathersH1 have destroyedH7843 deliverH5337 them, even 17GozanH1470 and 18HaranH2771 and RezephH7530 and the sonsH1121 of EdenH5729 whoH834 were in TelassarH8515? 13WhereH346 is the kingH4428 of HamathH2574, the kingH4428 of ArpadH774, the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of SepharvaimH5617, and of HenaH2012 and IvvahH5755?’”

14Then HezekiahH2396 tookH3947 the 19letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 and readH7121 it, and he wentH5927 up to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and 20spreadH6566 it out beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 15HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 sayingH559, 16“O LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 21who is enthronedH3427 above the cherubimH3742, You are the 22GodH430, You aloneH905, of allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 23You have madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776. 1724InclineH5186 Your earH241, O LordH3068, and hearH8085; openH6491 Your eyesH5869, O LordH3068, and seeH7200; and 25listenH8085 to allH3605 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, who sentH7971 them to 26reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430. 18TrulyH551, O LordH3068, the 27kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have devastatedH2717 allH3605 the countriesH776 and their landsH776, 19and have castH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784, for they were not godsH430 but the 28workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68. So they have 29destroyedH6 them. 20NowH6258, O LordH3068 our GodH430, 30deliverH3467 us from his handH3027 that 31allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that You aloneH905, LordH3068, 32are GodH430.”

21Then 33IsaiahH3470 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 34virginH1330 35daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; She has 36shakenH5128 her headH7218 behindH310 you, The daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389!23WhomH4310 have you 37reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? And againstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963 And 38haughtilyH4791 39liftedH5375 up your eyesH5869? AgainstH413 the 40HolyH6918 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 41LebanonH3844; And I cutH3772 downH3772 its tallH6967 42cedarsH730 and its choiceH4004 cypressesH1265. And I will goH935 to its 43highestH7093 peakH7093, its thickestH3759 44forestH3293.25I dugH6979 wells and drankH8354 watersH4325, And 45with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 I driedH2717 up AllH3605 the riversH2975 of 46EgyptH4693.’2647Have you not heardH8085? LongH7350 agoH7350 I didH6213 it, From ancientH6924 timesH3117H6924 I 48plannedH3335 it. NowH6258 49I have broughtH935 it to passH935, That 50you should turnH7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into 51ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were shortH7116 of strengthH3027, They were dismayedH2865 and putH954 to shameH954; They were as the 52vegetationH6212 of the fieldH7704 and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, As 53grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406 54is scorchedH7711 beforeH6440 it is grownH7054 up.28But I 55knowH3045 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 5657arroganceH7600 has comeH5927 up to My earsH241, Therefore I will putH7760 My 58hookH2397 in your noseH639 And My 59bridleH4964 in your lipsH8193, And I will turnH7725 you backH7725 60by the wayH1870 whichH834 you cameH935.

30“Then thisH2088 shall be the signH226 for you: 61you will eatH398 this yearH8141 whatH5599 62growsH5599 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 63survivingH7604 64remnantH7604 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will againH3254 65take rootH8328 downwardH4295 and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605. 32For out of JerusalemH3389 will goH3318 forthH3318 a 66remnantH7611 and out of MountH2022 ZionH6726 67survivorsH6413. The 68zealH7068 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 thisH2088.”’
