Isaiah 37:14-36

14Then HezekiahH2396 tookH3947 the 1letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 and readH7121 it, and he wentH5927 upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and 2spreadH6566 it outH6566 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 15HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 to the LordH3068, sayingH559, 16“LordH3068 of armiesH6635, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 3who is enthronedH3427 above the cherubimH3742, You are the 4GodH430, You aloneH905, of allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 5You madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776. 176InclineH5186 Your earH241, LordH3068, and hearH8085; openH6491 Your eyesH5869, LordH3068, and seeH7200; and 7listenH8085 to allH3605 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, who sentH7971 them to 8tauntH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430. 18TrulyH551, LordH3068, the 9kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have laidH2717 wasteH2717 allH3605 the countriesH776 and their landsH776, 19and have thrownH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784, for they were not godsH430 but only the 10workH4639 of humanH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68. So they have 11destroyedH6 them. 20But nowH6258 LordH3068, our GodH430, 12saveH3467 us from his handH3027, so that 13allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that You aloneH905, 14LordH3068, are GodH430.”

21Then 15IsaiahH3470 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, 22thisH2088 is the wordH1697 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 againstH5921 him: “She has shownH959 contemptH959 for you and deridedH3932 you, The 16virginH1330 17daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; The daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 has 18shakenH5128 her headH7218 behindH310 you!23WhomH4310 have you 19tauntedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? And againstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963 And 20haughtilyH4791 21raisedH5375 your eyesH5869? AgainstH413 the 22HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478!24ThroughH3027 your servantsH5650 you have tauntedH2778 the LordH136, And you have saidH559, ‘With my manyH7230 chariotsH7393 I cameH5927 upH5927 to the heightsH4791 of the mountainsH2022, To the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of 23LebanonH3844; And I cutH3772 downH3772 its tallH6967 24cedarsH730 and its choiceH4004 junipersH1265. And I will comeH935 to its 25highestH4791 peakH7093, its thickestH3759 26forestH3293.25I dugH6979 wells and drankH8354 watersH4325, And 27with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 I driedH2717 upH2717 AllH3605 the canalsH2975 of 28EgyptH4693.’2629Have you not heardH8085? LongH7350 agoH7350 I didH6213 it, From ancientH6924 timesH3117H6924 I 30plannedH3335 it. NowH6258 31I have broughtH935 it aboutH935 That 32you would turnH7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into 33ruinedH5327 heapsH1530.27Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were 34powerlessH7116H3027, They were shatteredH2865 and putH954 toH954 shameH954; They were like the 35vegetationH6212 of the fieldH7704 and the greenH3419 grassH1877, Like 36grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406 37that is scorchedH7710 beforeH6440 it has grownH7054.28But I 38knowH3045 your sittingH3427 downH3427, Your goingH3318 outH3318, your comingH935 inH935, And your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me.29BecauseH3282 of your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me And because your 39complacencyH7600 has comeH5927 upH5927 to My earsH241, I will putH7760 My 40hookH2397 in your noseH639 And My 41bridleH4964 in your lipsH8193, And I will turnH7725 you backH7725 42by the wayH1870 that you cameH935.

30“Then thisH2088 shall be the signH226 for you: 43you will eatH398 this yearH8141 whatH5599 44growsH5599 ofH5599 itselfH5599, in the secondH8145 yearH8141 whatH5501 growsH5501 from the same, and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232, harvestH7114, plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 their fruitH6529. 31The 45survivorsH6413 that are 46leftH7604 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will againH3254 47take rootH8328 downwardH4295 and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605. 32For outH3318 of JerusalemH3389 a 48remnantH7611 will goH3318, and out of MountH2022 ZionH6726 survivorsH6413. The 49zealH7068 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will performH6213 thisH2088.”’

33“ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 aboutH413 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: ‘He 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 50assaultH5550 rampH5550 againstH5921 it. 3451By 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 52protectH1598 thisH2088 cityH5892 to saveH3467 it 53for My own sakeH4616, and for My servantH5650 David’sH1732 sakeH4616.’”

36Then the 54angelH4397 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 55the 185,000 were 56deadH4191H6297.
