Isaiah 37:22-35
22This is the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, hath despisedH959 thee, and mockedH3932 thee; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310. 23Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and liftedH5375 thy eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 24ByH3027 thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, By the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 have I come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cut downH3772 its tallH6967 cedarsH730, and its choiceH4005 fir treesH1265: and I will enterH935 into the heightH4791 of its borderH7093, and the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760.123 25I have dugH6979, and drunkH8354 waterH4325; and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I dried upH2717 all the riversH2975 of the besieged placesH4693.4 26Hast 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 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.5 27Therefore 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 blightedH7709 beforeH6440 it is grown upH7054.6 28But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me.7 29Because 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. 30And this shall be a signH226 to thee, Ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 such as growethH5599 of itself; and the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springethH7823 of the same: and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them. 31And the remnantH7604 that hath escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605:8 32For out of JerusalemH3389 shall go forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and they that escapeH6413 from mountH2022 ZionH6726: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall doH6213 this.9 33Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, nor come beforeH6923 it with shieldsH4043, nor castH8210 a mountH5550 against it. 34By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 35For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for my own sake, and for my servantH5650 David’sH1732 sake.
