2 Kings 19:14-28
14Then 1HezekiahH2396 tookH3947 the 2letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 and readH7121 it, and he wentH5927 upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and 3spreadH6566 it outH6566 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 15HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and saidH559, “LordH3068, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 45enthronedH3427 above the cherubimH3742, 6You are the GodH430, You aloneH905, of allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. You have madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776. 167InclineH5186 Your earH241, LordH3068, and hearH8085; 8openH6491 Your eyesH5869, LordH3068, and seeH7200; and listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, whichH834 he has sentH7971 9to tauntH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430. 17It is trueH551, LordH3068; the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have laidH2717 wasteH2717 the nationsH1471 and their landsH776, 18and have 10hurledH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784; 11for they were not godsH430, but only the workH4639 of humanH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68. So they have destroyedH6 them. 19But nowH6258, LordH3068 our GodH430, pleaseH4994, saveH3467 us from his handH3027, 12so that allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that You aloneH905, 13LordH3068, are GodH430.”
20Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 word to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘BecauseH834 you have prayedH6419 to Me aboutH413 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, 14I have heardH8085 you.’ 21ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 againstH5921 him: ‘She, 15the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, has shownH959 contemptH959 for you and mockedH3932 you; She, the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, 16has shakenH5128 her headH7218 behindH310 you!22WhomH4310 have you 17tauntedH2778 and 18blasphemedH1442? And againstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963, And 19haughtilyH4791 raisedH5375 your eyesH5869? AgainstH5921 the 20HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478!2321ThroughH3027 your messengersH4397 you have tauntedH2778 the LordH136, And you have saidH559, “With my manyH7230 chariotsH7393 I wentH5927 upH5927 to the heightsH4791 of the mountainsH2022, To the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of LebanonH3844; And I cutH3772 downH3772 its tallH6967 cedarsH730 and its choicestH4004 junipersH1265. And I enteredH935 its farthestH7093 restingH4411 placeH4411, its 22thickestH3759 forestH3293.24I dugH6979 wells and drankH8354 foreignH2114 watersH4325, And with the solesH3709 of my feetH6471 I 23driedH2717 upH2717 AllH3605 the streamsH2975 of EgyptH4693.”
25‘24Have you not heardH8085? LongH7350 agoH7350 I didH6213 it; From ancientH6924 timesH3117H6924 I plannedH3335 it. 25NowH6258 I have broughtH935 it aboutH935, That you would turnH1961H7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinedH5327 heapsH1530.26Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were 26powerlessH7116H3027, They were shatteredH2865 and putH954 toH954 shameH954. They were 27like the vegetationH6212 of the fieldH7704 and the greenH3419 grassH1877, Like grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406 that is scorchedH7711 beforeH6440 it has grownH7054.27But 28I knowH3045 your sittingH3427 downH3427, Your goingH3318 outH3318, your comingH935 inH935, And your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me.28BecauseH3282 of your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me, And because your complacencyH7600 has comeH5927 upH5927 to My earsH241, I 29will putH7760 My hookH2397 in your noseH639, And My bridleH4964 in your lipsH8193, And 30I will turnH7725 you backH7725 by the wayH1870 by whichH834 you cameH935.
