2 Kings 19:20-36

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, 1I have heardH8085 you.’ 21ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 againstH5921 him: ‘She, 2the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, has shownH959 contemptH959 for you and mockedH3932 you; She, the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, 3has shakenH5128 her headH7218 behindH310 you!22WhomH4310 have you 4tauntedH2778 and 5blasphemedH1442? And againstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963, And 6haughtilyH4791 raisedH5375 your eyesH5869? AgainstH5921 the 7HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478!238ThroughH3027 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 9thickestH3759 forestH3293.24I dugH6979 wells and drankH8354 foreignH2114 watersH4325, And with the solesH3709 of my feetH6471 I 10driedH2717 upH2717 AllH3605 the streamsH2975 of EgyptH4693.”

25‘11Have you not heardH8085? LongH7350 agoH7350 I didH6213 it; From ancientH6924 timesH3117H6924 I plannedH3335 it. 12NowH6258 I have broughtH935 it aboutH935, That you would turnH1961H7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinedH5327 heapsH1530.26Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were 13powerlessH7116H3027, They were shatteredH2865 and putH954 toH954 shameH954. They were 14like the vegetationH6212 of the fieldH7704 and the greenH3419 grassH1877, Like grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406 that is scorchedH7711 beforeH6440 it has grownH7054.27But 15I 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 16will putH7760 My hookH2397 in your noseH639, And My bridleH4964 in your lipsH8193, And 17I will turnH7725 you backH7725 by the wayH1870 by whichH834 you cameH935.

29‘Then thisH2088 shall be 18the signH226 for you: 19you will eatH398 this yearH8141 whatH5599 growsH5599 ofH5599 itselfH5599, in the secondH8145 yearH8141 whatH5501 growsH5501 byH5501 itselfH5501, and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232, harvestH7114, plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 their fruitH6529. 3020The survivorsH6413 that are leftH7604 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295 and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605. 31For outH3318 of JerusalemH3389 will goH3318 a remnantH7611, and survivorsH6413 21out of MountH2022 ZionH6726. 22The zealH7068 of 23the LordH3068 will performH6213 thisH2088.

32‘ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 aboutH413 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: “24He will not comeH935 to thisH2088 cityH5892 norH3808 shootH3384 an arrowH2671 thereH8033; and he will not comeH6923 beforeH6923 it with a shieldH4043 norH3808 heapH8210 upH8210 an assaultH5550 rampH5550 againstH5921 it. 3325By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by 26the same he will returnH7725, and he shall not comeH935 to thisH2088 cityH5892,”’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 34‘27For I will protectH1598 thisH2088 cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for My own sakeH4616, and 28for My servantH5650 David’sH1732 sakeH4616.’”

3529Then it happenedH1961 that nightH3915 that the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 wentH3318 outH3318 and struckH5221 185,000H3967H8084H2568H505 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804; and when the rest gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, beholdH2009, allH3605 of 30the 185,000 were 31deadH4191H6297. 36So 32SennacheribH5576 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265 and 33returnedH7725 home, and livedH3427 at 34NinevehH5210.
