ylt@2Kings:19:20 @And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard:

ylt@2Kings:19:21 @this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: 'Trampled on thee -- laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion Behind thee shaken the head -- Hath the daughter of Jerusalem?

ylt@2Kings:19:22 @Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes -- Against the Holy One of Israel!

ylt@2Kings:19:23 @By the hand of thy messengers Thou hast reproached the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains -- The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.

ylt@2Kings:19:24 @I have digged, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.

ylt@2Kings:19:25 @Hast thou not heard from afar, it I made, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becometh a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fenced cities,

ylt@2Kings:19:26 @And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn -- before it hath risen up!

ylt@2Kings:19:27 @And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thine anger towards Me;

ylt@2Kings:19:28 @Because of thine anger towards Me, And thy noise -- it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And have caused thee to turn back, In the way in which thou camest.

ylt@2Kings:19:29 @And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.

ylt@2Kings:19:30 @And it hath continued -- The escaped of the house of Judah That hath been left -- to take root beneath, And hath made fruit upward.

ylt@2Kings:19:31 @For from Jerusalem goeth out a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion; The zeal of Jehovah [of Hosts] doth this.

ylt@2Kings:19:32 @Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it with shield. Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.

ylt@2Kings:19:33 @In the way that he cometh in -- In it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, The affirmation of Jehovah --

ylt@2Kings:19:34 @And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.'

ylt@2Kings:19:35 @And it cometh to pass, in that night, that a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred eighty and five thousand, and they rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.

ylt@2Kings:19:36 @And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeyeth, and goeth, and turneth back, and dwelleth in Nineveh;

ylt@2Kings:19:37 @and it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech and Sharezar [his sons] have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
