2 Kings 19:20-28

20Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, That which thou hast prayedH6419 to me against SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 I have heardH8085. 21This is the wordH1697 that YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee, and laughed thee to scornH3932; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310. 22Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478. 23ByH3027 thy messengersH4397 thou hast reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, With the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 I am come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844, and will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedar treesH730 thereof, and the choiceH4004 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the lodgingsH4411 of his bordersH7093, and into the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760.123 24I have diggedH6979 and drunkH8354 strangeH2114 watersH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I driedH2717 up all the riversH2975 of besieged placesH4693.4 25Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350 how I have doneH6213 it, and of ancientH6924 timesH3117 that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 fencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.5 26Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954; they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as grain blastedH7711 beforeH6440 it be grown upH7054.6 27But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me.7 28Because thy rageH7264 against me and thy tumultH7600 is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore I will putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
