ukjv@Isaiah:37:21 @ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

ukjv@Isaiah:37:22 @ This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:23 @ Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up yours eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:24 @ By your servants have you reproached the Lord, and have 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.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:25 @ I have dug, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:26 @ Have you not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you should be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:27 @ Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:28 @ But I know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:29 @ Because your rage against me, and your tumult, has come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:30 @ And this shall be a sign unto you, All of you shall eat this year such as grows of itself; and the second year that which springs of the same: and in the third year sow all of you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:31 @ And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

ukjv@Isaiah:37:32 @ For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:33 @ Therefore thus says 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 a bank against it.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:34 @ By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:35 @ For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:36 @ Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and stroke in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:37 @ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

ukjv@Isaiah:37:38 @ And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons stroke him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his position.
