2 Kings 19:14-28

14And HezekiahH2396 receivedH3947 the letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397, and readH7121 it: and HezekiahH2396 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and spreadH6566 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 15And HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who dwellestH3427 between the cherubimH3742, thou art the GodH430, even thou alone, of all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776. 16LORDH3068, bow downH5186 thy earH241, and hearH8085: openH6491, LORDH3068, thy eyesH5869, and seeH7200: and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, who hath sentH7971 him to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430. 17Of a truthH551, LORDH3068, the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have destroyedH2717 the nationsH1471 and their landsH776, 18And have castH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784: for they were no godsH430, but the workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68: therefore they have destroyedH6 them.1 19Now therefore, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, I beseech thee, saveH3467 thou us from his handH3027, that all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, even thou only.

20Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, That which thou hast prayedH6419 to me against SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 I have heardH8085. 21This is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee, and mocked theeH3932; 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 thy 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 its tallH6967 cedar treesH730, and its choiceH4004 fir treesH1265: and I will enterH935 into the lodgingsH4411 of his bordersH7093, and into the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760.234 24I have dugH6979 and drankH8354 strangeH2114 watersH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I driedH2717 up all the riversH2975 of besieged placesH4693.5 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 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 in ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.6 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 blightedH7711 beforeH6440 it is grown upH7054.7 27But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me.8 28Because thy rageH7264 against me and thy tumultH7600 is come upH5927 into my 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.
