And it came to pass, when king
Hezekiah
heard
it, that he rent
his clothes,
and covered
himself with sackcloth,
and went
into the house
of the LORD.
And he sent
Eliakim,
who was over the household,
and Shebna
the scribe,
and the elders
of the priests
covered
with sackcloth,
unto Isaiah
the prophet
the son
of Amoz.

And they said
unto him, Thus saith
Hezekiah,
This day
is a day
of trouble,
and of rebuke,
and of blasphemy:
for the children
are come
to the birth,
and there is not strength
to bring forth.

whom the king

his master

wherefore lift up

So the servants
of king
Hezekiah
came
to Isaiah.
And Isaiah
said
unto them, Thus shall ye say
unto your master,
Thus saith
the LORD,
Be not afraid
of
the words
that thou hast heard,
wherewith the servants
of the king
of Assyria
have blasphemed
me.

So Rabshakeh
returned,
and found
the king
of Assyria
warring
against Libnah:
for he had heard
that he was departed
from Lachish.

And he heard
say
concerning Tirhakah
king
of Ethiopia,
He is come forth
to make war
with thee. And when he heard
it, he sent
messengers
to Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus shall ye speak
to Hezekiah
king
of Judah,
saying,
Let not thy God,
in whom thou trustest,
deceive
thee, saying,
Jerusalem
shall not be given
into the hand
of the king
of Assyria.

Behold, thou hast heard
what the kings
of Assyria
have done
to all lands
by destroying them utterly;
and shalt thou be delivered?
Have the gods
of the nations
delivered
them which my fathers
have destroyed,
as Gozan,
and Haran,
and Rezeph,
and the children
of Eden
which were in Telassar?
Where is the king
of Hamath,
and the king
of Arphad,
and the king
of the city
of Sepharvaim,
Hena,
and Ivah?
And Hezekiah
received
the letter
from the hand
of the messengers,
and read
it: and Hezekiah
went up
unto the house
of the LORD,
and spread
it before
the LORD.
And Hezekiah
prayed
unto the LORD,
saying,
O LORD
of hosts,
God
of Israel,
that dwellest
between the cherubims,
thou art the God,
even thou alone, of all the kingdoms
of the earth:
thou hast made
heaven
and earth.
Incline
thine ear,
O LORD,
and hear;
open
thine eyes,
O LORD,
and see:
and hear
all the words
of Sennacherib,
which hath sent
to reproach
the living
God.
Of a truth,
LORD,
the kings
of Assyria
have laid waste
all the nations,
and their countries,
And have cast
their gods
into the fire:
for they were no gods,
but the work
of men's
hands,
wood
and stone:
therefore they have destroyed
them.
Now therefore, O LORD
our God,
save
us from his hand,
that all the kingdoms
of the earth
may know
that thou art the LORD,
even thou only.
Then Isaiah
the son
of Amoz
sent
unto Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus saith
the LORD
God
of Israel,
Whereas thou hast prayed
to me against Sennacherib
king
of Assyria:

thee, and laughed thee to scorn;
the daughter
of Jerusalem
hath shaken

Whom hast thou reproached
and blasphemed?
and against whom hast thou exalted
thy voice,
and lifted up
thine eyes
on high?
even against the Holy One
of Israel.
By
thy servants
hast thou reproached
the Lord,
and hast said,
By the multitude
of my chariots
am I come up
to the height
of the mountains,
to the sides
of Lebanon;
and I will cut down
the tall
cedars
thereof, and the choice
fir trees
thereof: and I will enter
into the height
of his border,
and the forest
of his Carmel.

were of small

they were dismayed

they were as the grass

But I know
thy abode,
and thy going out,

Because thy rage
against me, and thy tumult,

And this shall be a sign

And the remnant

shall again
take root

For out of Jerusalem
shall go forth

out of mount
Zion:
the zeal

shall do
this.
Therefore thus saith
the LORD
concerning the king
of Assyria,
He shall not come
into this city,
nor shoot
an arrow
there, nor come before
it with shields,
nor cast

David's
sake.
Then the angel
of the LORD
